Most five gallon food Clone buckets are made from HDPE. __________________ My dream brew shed build Join Date: Dec 2007 .

I do remember reading an article that stated that yeast will absorb nasty stuff like lead. Actually the beer in England has no lead in it while the water has 3x the amount allowed in the Join Date: Jul 2007 USA. I'm not sure that the yeast would eat any carcinogenic chemicals though.

HDPE 2 is a certfied food safe if the processes and materials used are food safe (and when the FDA approves it)*. I've read comments/statements that make convincing arguments for and Join Date: Sep 2008 against the homer buckets. What it comes down to is you need to read both Location: Milwaukee, WI arguments and do what you're comfortable with. Posts: 74 Having said that, I think you should keep it. You don't have much more to lose at this point. On a side note... I was in a port-o-john recently and I was happy to see that the wall was stamped HDPE 2. Would you ferment in that? I don't think they made that plastic to be food safe. I mean, it is meant to hold food, but... after it is processed by us (gross) *(no quote/link here, just read all the other threads beating this to death) kevin9167 is offline Reply With Quote kevin9167 View Public Profile Send a private message to kevin9167 Find More Posts by kevin9167 Donate Old 08-05-2009, 04:24 #10 AM wildwest450 Default Better than advertised [IMG] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wildwest450's Avatar All right, after some more digging, technically not all hdpe 2 is classified Recipes as food safe. Having said that I still see NO problem having wort or mash in there for 10 minutes. I use a blue 3 gallon hdpe2 bucket to transfer from Recipes mash tun to kettle. Celebrate This! Hazed and Infused Would I ferment in one? Probably not, but I would drink the beer you made Clone with it. __________________ My dream brew shed build Join Date: Dec 2007 .
