So I just bought a propane burner so I could do my brewing outside and I had a 20 qt. brew pot that had an enamel finish on it. I had read reviews that said not to chip it because it could rust out, so I bought plastic spoons to go with it. Well, for whatever reason while I was in boil I noticed small black flakes swirling in the foam. I scooped as much of it out as possible and then I used a screen filter when transfering the wort to a carboy. When I looked at the inside of the pot, the enamel had come off as I suspected. Did this ruin my batch?? When everything was poured into primary I did not see any enamel flakes, but is there damage done by boiling them in your wort? Not real concerned but thought I would check with the experts? Thanks
