Hello,
I recently got what I think is a great deal on a used stainless steel pot for brewing. It is made of thicker steel than the units from homebrew suppliers, and also has very strong, rivetted handles, so it must have been fairly expensive when originally purchased. The pot has obviously had some heavy use as the metal is discolored on the inside like it had been used in a busy resturant. Is the condition of this pot going to have any effect on the beer being brewed? I hope this question hasn't been asked too many times in this forum already. The cheap pots from suppliers are so shiney and smooth looking, but my pot is much duller in finish like the very expensive pots that some suppliers (like MoreBeer) sell. Than you.
