Ok,
So I went to Menards and I got a 7.5 gal aluminum pot for $29.99, here is the link: http://menards.com/main/outdoor/grills-smokers/30-qt-boiling-pot-with-basket/p-1694255-c-10141.htm . I been reading that with aluminum pots you need to "Season" them before you brew with them. From what I read you can either throw it in the oven or boil the water for about an hour. I put more than half water in there and put the flame high on the stove, maybe 2 1/2 hours later it was VERY hot (duh) and sizzling but not particularly boiling. It's not dark brown on the side, kinda just looks like water has been there.

Even though I don't see too much brown, is it seasoned? Should I still brew? I don't wanna screw up this batch, and I wanna make sure it won't turn out tasting bad.

Please Help!
 
Your probably fine if it's discolored, I would put in more water than your "boil" would be and then bring that up to a full boil for 10 min you should be golden
