I am sure this is an opinion based question....Is a thick, heavy bottom aluminum pot suitable for boiling my wort?
At my local home brew store, the owner tells me absolutely NO aluminum pots. It can ruin the taste of your beer, tons of metallic flavor..NO NO NO. Of course he says this as he points to an extremely bright and shiny stainless boiling pot on his shelf. The price tag indicates that if he can sell one pot a week he covers his overhead, LOL.
I have a really nice, clean 5 gallon Aluminum stock pot that is quite heavy. It has a thick bottom and I know it won't scorch the wort as heavy as it is. Should I be concerned in using this pot to boil??
