Re: What to use as a ladle?

[Guest guest]

Actually, I thought I read that food grade was safe. I read in a Lyme

group that you should not reuse water bottles (don't know about

anything else), because they were specifically made for one time use.

I don't have a link or anything to back that up, it's just what someone

had posted.

Part of my SOP is to disbelieve such statements when they come with

citations. But that's just me. I can be very gullible so, I've

learned the hard way.

My single serving water bottles, what few i have go through the

dishwasher for a really good wash before i reuse them. Ditto the

caps.

I am surrounded by food grade plastic what with Brita water pitcher,

the occasional salad bought to go, plastic pitchers, mayo in plastic

jar. Food grade plastic doesn't worry me.

I have to admit, I am thinking of dumping all my KT into a

pitcher(pastic, all I have) as one pitcher will take up less space in

my frig than a doz smaller bottles and jars.

Yes, I saw a short piece on TV that was emphasizing not reusing water

bottles. Their big hype was that they are not sterilized and the bacteria

can build up. I considered it baloney. Number one, I am not afraid of a

little bacteria, number two, Wash the darned things if you are so worried!

<chuckling!>

One time use? Do they explode or what?

And after my recent Kaboom explosion and Ed's comments about using

plastic, I am testing plastic for my secondary ferment. I am using the

one-gallon jugs that my distilled water comes in, and I have two in

secondary ferment right now. If we can bottle in food-grade plastic,

and I know many who do, then why not use it for the secondary ferment.

When it is done, I will pour it into bottles, straining out the

blueberries and the jasmine blossoms. I can see no harm to doing this,

and it is fermenting because I have burped the bottles, and they gave

huge sighs of relief.

I figure the brew will be in plastic for no more than four days, and

it appears to me that it will be only three days. Then I will bottle

it and put the bottles in the fridge. The bottles are EZ-Cap glass

bottles.

I have grandchildren and I have dogs: Ed's caution about not having

something with the potential to explode and cause bodily harm hit

home.
