Wowzers! I try to use as little plastic as possible when brewing. Just don't trust the stuff....the beer is killing enough brain cells as it is

Son of a bitch. I guess we'll try that again.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter.

I can probably scrape up the powder and just chuck it in water. I bet that will still be potent!

I did this exact same thing with peracetic acid years ago. It was something like 90% pure too. Had to leave the house for a day to air it out!

Just meant that plastic degrades......not as much as what caustic will do to it but still degrades.Jayme wrote:That was caustic, not beer.

Be careful with that stuff. I've seen some nasty caustic burns.
