Hello home brewers! I came across a great article on how to etch gallon markers into a kettle using salt, vinegar and a 9v battery. Here is the link if anyone is interested.

It's just not working for me on my aluminum kettle. I followed the direction to the T. I tested it on the side of my keg and it works but nothing happens when I touch the aluminum with the cotton swab. It says it works on aluminum. I striped a wire from a old power cable for a router I had laying around. Could the wire not be generating enough current?
Any advice would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks.
