Jdub 3,153 Posted March 5, 2019 Anyone ever used an aluminum turkey fryer pot as a brew kettle? I have one, it's pretty large, 29 quarts. i've only used it once a few years ago and have the whole kit, burner and all. what if i cleaned with that TSP stuff and tried to brew with it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was what I used for my brew kettle for over a year. No issues with any of the beers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bpgreen 209 Posted March 9, 2019 I've read that you should boil some water in it before using the first time to create a coating, but I just did a quick search and couldn't find a reference for that. One thing that you should be aware of is that you shouldn't use oxygen based cleaners or sanitizers (Oxiclean, One Step, etc) on aluminum pots. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
