Kettle colour

[MashBag]

Do we think the colour of the kettle will affect the flavour of the beer?

I deleted the other no point in having duplicate threads/posts

Thanks... Didn't know it was a duplicate.

Does anyone else have a kettle (or anything brewing ) this colour?

Most plastic fermenters I have seen are this colour after about the first 5-10 brews

Is it a trick question? Do you think it should happen? Is it something you want to correct? Do you think you have a possible issue?

Will it affect flavour? In the kettle probably not. I would not want it in a fermenter though. Never had it in mine, and some are 10 years old.

Is it a symptom of an issue that may also have a negative affect on flavour? Possibly.

It's not a trick question. Just asking.

@Sadfield I am keeping a eye out for some kit for a mate and I am seeing a lot of used kit this colour & just wondered if it's normal.

If you're concerned about it, I'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to clean. A good soak in pbw revolves the gradual build up of that brown layer on my kit and leaves it nice and shiny. Barkeeps friend also removes it nicely.

Surely, you would be cleaning it prior to use?

 

[MashBag]

Do people use vessels that are this colour then?

I wouldn't cook my family's diner in it, i wouldn't brew beer in it. I would give it a clean so it came up brand new, not difficult do with various different chemicals that are easily available.

Is there anyone who dies just one this colour?
