Excited about this guys. I just made my own mash tun and got a new brew pot for my first all grain brew! What do you think about?
slantedbolt said:So I am boiling 3/4 full of water to oxidize the pot like I am suppose to... I have a cheap stainless steel pot that is FAR to small for AG. Is the pot suppose to turn black on the inside? If not, WTF?!
My aluminum pot turned kind of brass with the oxidization layer. Is it really black? Pic?
Mine wasn't black the first time, but it was dark... More like a dark charcoal gray, I suppose... Just be sure to not scrub it away when you wash it... If you're careful, you can use a very mild scrub sponge to gently get the tough bits off of the inside of the pot... I would just use really hot water to clean it. Otherwise a soapy sponge and good rinse is about all you'll need...
After several more batches, it might get darker... Don't fear the darkness. :rockin:
