Hello every one,
So while bottling my first batch of beer, an amber, I came across a tread that you should oxidize your aluminum pot by boiling water in it before boiling your wort. Well at the time I didn't know this so I cleaned it with B bright and rinsed it out then boiled my wort. Does anyone have any idea if I am going to get any off flavor or dangerous level of aluminum in my brew? Since then I have soaked the pot in B bright and have seen white spots that I cant get out and dark area in it and I am wondering if I have ruined the pot. Here is a picture.
Thanks for any help guys.
