Can I use a aluminum pot to boil my wort?

Conventional wisdom says no. Aluminum is dissolved in an acidic environment and will enter the wort. Most metals are scrubbed out by the yeast and we would expect aluminum would end up in the yeast and not the beer but, we know of no studies showing this to be true. To be safe, we would not recommend using aluminum any place where it can contact wort or beer.
