I went back and searched this forum for discussions about aluminum vs stainless steel. Found several advocates for aluminum.
I have been brewing in aluminum for years making beers from extract. I bought a 10 gallon aluminum heavy duty pot for boiling since I am embarking on all grain brews. My question is: do I need to do anything to “season” my new pot before boiling in it? Manufacturer states that I should heat it up and add cooking oil to it, cool it down, heat it up and add cooking oil to it again.
Just boil water in the pot as full as you can get it for 5 minutes…then scrub with soap and rinse…Brew away…I would not put oil in a pot used for brewing…
