OK, about 2 weeks ago I used a mixture of bleach and water (about a tablespoon of bleach in 5 gallons of water) to try to get some hardened stains out of my aluminum brew pot (I now know not to use bleach on metal). I left it in overnight and in the morning noticed some corrosion on the pot, so I scrubbed it off with bronze wool and soap, then cleaned the rest of the pot with the bronze wool.
Is this pot still safe to use, a buddy of mine told me not to use bronze wool on aluminum because it can scratch the pot and transfer aluminum to the beer, and I also used bleach which corroded it. Any thoughts?
