Piss off or Buy Me A Beer
The /sourness I put in the original post is because I wasn't sure how to describe the flavour or sensation I was experiencing. It may not even be a bitterness but it is the only way I can articulate it. Maybe an acidic taste would be a better desciption.
I have only used the pot once before today and that was sundays brew. read above post.
Anyone else have browning of their aluminium pots?
No I have never done a high AA brew before this is my 4th brew actually.
I hope you are all right and it will disapate with age.
EDIT:
Photo of the discoloration to the pot.

Looks like normal old beer stone Daft. I have noticed Aluminium will get it quicker than SS. I have had 2 Ali kettles now. I am guessing but I imagine this is due to the nature of the oxidizing layer on aluminium. Maybe it is more susceptable to attack from the acid nature of wort? Dunno really?
A hit wil PBW will clean it off quick smart.
Cheers
