For those of you with SS kettles with riveted on handles do you fill past the rivets on occasion? I try not to but have mashed a few times at the rivet level. can they leak? are they generally made out of something not "beer safe"?
filling kettles up to handle rivets?

They should be SS or AL. I have filled past them on mine with no issues that I can tell.

on one of my old cheaper kettles the rivets got this white oxidation on them that I couldn't really get rid of if they got wet.

Same. Been using the same AL pot for the last 16 years; never an issue with filling the kettle with wort above the handle rivets.

Sounds like AL oxidation to me.
