I am getting back into homebrewing, after a long hiatus, and am ready for my second batch. I used a smaller enamel coated 14-qt pot last batch but would like to use my 18-qt tefllon coated steel pot that I originally used for home brewing back in the day. Unfortunately, through years of non-homebrew use, the teflon has worn through and the pot rusted on the inside bottom. I scrubbed all the excess rust off, all the way to bare steel in some places. The questin is, is can I use this pot or will the remaining rust and or oxidation of the bare steel during the boil cause ill-effects to my beer? (And yes, BTW, I will be ordering a 20qt (+) SS pot in the near future.)
