aluminium boils

I am reading extreme brewing and Sam is telling us to never use aluminium brew pots. Now this guy takes a pretty layed back approach to home brewing, and this is the thing he wants to really emphasize.

I have been brewing in an aluminium turkey fryer for a while. Any good reason to stop this or am I good.

Also what is a commercial keg made of aluminium or stainless. I have one in the garage for years that I always thought of converting, but if it alum mabe I should think twice.

Thanks for any wisdom

This thread will answer all your questions.

John Palmer uses aluminum.

Thanks for the direction!

McKBrew uses aluminum as well.

Now granted McKBrew also wants stainless steel keggles, but until then aluminum works just fine. Who do you all think really taught Palmer How to Brew?

What is a miller lite keg made of? If it was in that thread I missed it.

Commercial kegs are stainless.

i think my pot is aluminum..., can't remember.....
