I would be more worried whats in your cupboard or watersupply really.Ive always stayed away from any aluminum but i dont want to debate,its just my preference.The fda tells you all kinds of things are ok when they are not so i dont beleive them anyway.Cancer was not even around until the last century and look at how we do things so differnetly than they did centuries ago.I blame the pharmacetical,and food industry and those associated,way to go greedy muther****ers,trying to thin the herd and reduce the population count.Microwaves,Pft..deathfood.List goes on and on. I think its extremley funny how pharmacuticals have no long term study and the population is just an experiment,look at all the deaths, what fraud.
I know this was a bit off topic but not really this is part of what its all about.After finding out the craploads of stuff they get away with making a buck,i have no respect for deceit.
I heard it'll give you Alzheimers and AIDS.
funny this was brought up i've been using an aluminum kettle since i started which was not too long ago.. i've got about 8 batches done and a few of them were extract. is anyone aware being that aluminum kettles conduct so well and they tend to be thin, does this make me more at risk to burning or rather carmelizing the lme ? i've got more of a twang on some of my beers and for what i can discern over the weeks and months of some the twangy sour almost taste has not gotten worse..leading me to think its not infection.. i;m at a loss , since i've gone all grain and am tryng to norrow done what this problem is..
forgot to mention today is the first day i've ever decided to splash 4ish gallons in my kettle and boiled it for about an hour.. i can see the oxidized layer now, could this be a contributing factor to my taste?
It's canceraids. Get it right...
I don't use aluminum and won't knowingly eat out of it. As was said before though not gonna argue about it. I did notice however that reynolds wrap has a new foil that has a paper backing to keep the aluminum from contacting the food for some reason.

As for the foil, I think that's to keep acidic foods away from the foil so it doesn't dissolve over long storage periods.
Also, for whoever mentioned that aluminum pots are usually thin and can lead to scorching, you might want to look into a heavy duty stockpot. My boil kettle is a 40 qt stockpot that's 6mm thick (roughly 1/4"). $75 at my local restaurant supply store.
True! And for those who overindulge :cross: in the beer they brew, the alcohol is doing much more damage than any aluminum could.I would be more worried whats in your cupboard...
Ha! Most people just died before they had a chance to get cancer.Cancer was not even around until the last century...
i love my aluminum brew kettle. It's fantastic, was cheap, is light and easy to clean, and makes delicious beer.
It hasn't given me alzheimers yet, but at least it hasn't given me alzheimers yet.
