I'm sure this has been asked 234509832540 times on here so sorry, but really....does aluminum REALLY leave an off flavor? (Aluminum pots)
I used aluminum once and both my babies were born necked.
I also hear from . . . sources . . . citing from . . . source material . . .that aluminum pots . . . definitely cause alzheimers .
Hummmmm...good question. I think I was nekkid when I made my boy but the older one, I don't remember.Just to clarify, is this born "necked" as in their head was separated from their torso by a stretch of bone and tissue or "nekkid" as in born with no clothes on?
Inquiring minds want to know! Because I used aluminum several times and all of my children were conceived while I was nekkid and I was wondering about that coincidence.
Sorry - WHAT'S the relevance here to homebrewing? You do understand why baking soda and aluminum don't mix, right? Because if you do, you should also know why aluminum is fine for homebrewing and cooking.For those who say it does NOT Give an off taste, try this....boil water in an aluminum pot, and a good quality stainless steel pot.. Put about two inches of water and 1 teaspoon of baking soda......let it boil ten minutes or so...taste the water. IF the pans do not impart flavors, the waters should taste exactly the same...they will NOT, guaranteed.
I have done enough tests personally and read enough material that I will not knowingly eat from an aluminum pot. Granted I sell stainless steel cookware so I am very biased.

BTW, this cracks me up -- nobody can accuse you of being dishonest though:
Almost everyone restaraunt you visit will be using aluminum stock pots with even more acidity than your wort. I've had stomach issues most of my life, my kettles are the first aluminum pots I have ever been around. Its most been cast iron, teflon, ceramic and glass. I cant taste any off flavors.
If the baking soda throws you off,simply cook a can of soup and stick in a tarnished spoon......I know it is an electro magno something or another BUT the tarnish is on the spoon then GONE.. I am not gonna knowingly eat out of it.....I was raised on aluminum and cast iron cookware ( dad worked at WAGNERS) my mom and dad have both had ulcer surgery...I have had serious stomach issues, been hospitalized more than once. tubes and optic fibers down my throat with no apparent cause....switched from aluminum and cast iron to stainless and BLAM stomach issues gone nearly overnight. 100% success rate doing the same for customers also.......Again I am baised due to my job, and hell I may even be brainwashed a bit. BUT I see what I see. It may be perfectly fine for brewing but if the choice is there I will definitely avoid aluminum if at all possible.
