OK, this may seem like a dumb question... but... I'm new at this.
A friend who is in the restaurant business took me to a restaurant supply warehouse. Holy cow! What an amazing place.
Anyway, I got a nice 10 gallon aluminum (thick) pot for $44. Plan to use it as a brewpot for a while. Also noticed these huge, heavy wooden stirrers, and grabbed one for $8. It's about 30 inches long and very heavy. Would work great for full boils and adding LME, I think.
If I clean it good, maybe spray a Star San solution on it, and/or dip it in boiling water before each use, will it be ok, do ya think?
Thanks,
Mark
P.S. My first batch of IPA is bottled a week now, my second batch is in the primary, and I got some fresh hops to use for a secondary for the second batch. Picked up a kit for a "Red Ale" to try next, and will brew it up next weekend. Still waiting to sample the first batch.... tick tok...
