Recently, I read an article on the traditional Norwegian home brew technics Heimabrygg, Vossaøl, Hardangerøl and Sognøl – The Farmhouse Homebrews of Western Norway - Brewing Nordic. The author describes the long open-fire boiling in a copper pot. As it claims, copper drives Maillard reaction, caramelisation and other goodness.
And now I'm kinda obsessed with the idea to add copper wool during boiling in my stainless steel kettle. But I also read that copper may provide poisonous copper oxides. So I'm in doubt if boiling with copper is a good idea or not at all, and how to reduce copper hazards.
What do you think, any related experience?
