I just bought an aluminum pot to brew with, and was informed that aluminum causes an off flavor in beers? Can someone shed some light on that for me? Was also told that there is no aluminum in large breweries...?

Foosier said:I use aluminum. No issues. Heard some guy at the LHBS telling a newb not to buy Aluminum pots too and had to bite my tongue. Remeber a lot of cooking gear is aluminum and no one really complains about it.
Aluminum is the most abundant metal on earth and is almost entirely non toxic (think deodorant sticks)
Begs the question though... Why don't the brew pot manufacturers seem to promote aluminum?
Higher manufacturing cost? Better profit margin on shiny polished SS?
