I received my new 10 gallon SS kettle in the mail today. The shipping sucked of course and my pot was scratched, lid had a small dent, and the handles were hanging out of the box but none of those concern me that badly. What does concern me is the worn away spot on the inside bottom edge of the kettle. It's about 2mm x 3mm spot but it's like the SS has rubbed off. Will this cause any issues with the beer itself or should I not worry about this. I'm concerned with it getting worse or effecting the taste of the beer.
I've included the best zoomed in pic I could.
