Hey all. I’m a previous beer home brewer with a 10 gallon stainless steel kettle that I have laying around here. According to the website I ordered it from, northern brewer, it is made of 201 SS for the walls of the vessel and 410 SS for the bottom of the vessel. I know 304 SS and 316 SS are the ideal materials to use when it comes to brewing kombucha in stainless steel because of the high acidity. But would this work as well? My main concern is leeching of the metals due to high acidity. Also, just for a little more detail, this would be used as a continuous brew vessel.
