Is there any evidence that shows issues with using a SS bulkhead in an Aluminum pot. Or is it ok?

Thanks---Lou
 
I have stainless bulkheads on both my aluminum kettles with no problem. I would not leave the pot full of liquid for an extended period of time for fear of electroysis. That may not be a real issue.

lots of theory about why its bad, but there are 1000's of AL brewpots with SS
weldless bulkheads that are working fine.
 
In 50 years, the electrolysis may start to make you thinking about replacing your kettle in another 10 years. You'll be fine.
