Hey guys, brewing with a new ballington SS pot I got on eBay. Used star san but did not scrub vigorously. I threw it on the burner to heat up mash water, which I dumped in my mash tun. When I was running the mash off, I noticed a rainbowish film on the surface. I finished brewing and kegged it. 4 months later and it tastes pretty funny. I'm wondering if the rainbow film was from oil on the pot, or from using too much heat on the pot. I rinsed the pot off and there is some rainbowish discoloration on the bottom of the empty pot. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
