I soaked my hop spider in PBW overnight and this white substance formed on the nuts and bolts. I got the hardware at Lowes and it was suppose to be stainless steel. I am not sure now. Has this happened to anyone?

I had a similar thing happen to mine before. I had not used stainless bolts because Lowe's did not have long enough bolts at the time. I later switched to stainless bolts and haven't had a problem since.
