Yes you can.
Stainless is stronger, more resistant to a lot of cleaners and corrosion. It's also much more expensive.
As long as you condition your AL pot you'll be fine with AL.
Can you help point me in the right direction to figure out how I should "condition" an aluminum pot? I'm about to do my first batch and I already own an aluminum pot that I'd like to use for now until I upgrade later on.
