Excuse me but how do you figure out what cap is necessary for one of those 3 gallon or even 5 gallon PET bottles? Or are they just the same ones used for standard Better Bottles?
Polycarbonate uses BPA (bisphenol-A) in it's production. BPA may mimic the natural female sex hormone estradiol. In animal research it has been linked to female reproductive disorders, breast and prostate cancer, and attention and developmental problems.
So, if you brew in that you'll be needing the manzier?

Not a problem. It's the #10 rubber stopper same as the better bottles I believe...

LOL.. i guess ill stab at the PVC one at walmart .. 6 bucks may be worth it.. ill give it a test run
I seen ones at walmart too... I checked them out and they have #3 and #7 depending on which brand you get...
However in my ebay searches I did find Better Bottles with decent shipping and shipping discounts when you buy extra items. Might be pretty nice, lil bit more expensive bottle, but cheaper shipping.

Sadly I found out that the #1 plastic isn't a good idea for re-using. Great for single use but re-using results in DEHP leaking (or something like that). Turns out that Better Bottles, which are not #1, are free of the nasty stuff in #7 and #1. From what i can tell 2, 4, and maybe 5 are acceptable.
Thanks for getting back to me about the #10 stopper. I wasn't sure. Though it looks like I will just deal with a real Better Bottle as opposed to a 3 gal water bottle.

I was under the impression the DEHP was used in #3 PVC not #1 PET.
PVC(with DEHP) is what the bags they store blood in is made of. If it is good enough for human blood...
and
#1 = PET
Better Bottles = PET per Better Bottles website
therefore Better Bottles are #1 type plastic.
I just got off the phone with Absopure (www.absopure.com 1-877-554-2276) and although they don't do home delivery of 5 gal. bottles in NC she said that they produce their own bottles and that I should be able to get 5 gal bottles of water at Lowes. The info for the 3 gal. follows:
Sales # 88108 http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=88108-45903-3GSPRINGU&lpage=none
and the number below the bar code is 46121 26005 (sku?)
anyway, hope that helps out.
Edit:
I talked to a guy from Absopure this afternoon and he told me that their 5 gal jugs (carboys) were #1 PET as well. Now to find a few...
I was leaving Home Depot a couple weeks back and right at the edge of the doorway were a stack of empty Absopure 5 gallon bottles. I don't know about any deposit on them; I just grabbed one on my way out because I wanted a grain mill hopper. I just looked and it's a '1' in the triangle, so I'm thinking now. Planning for 10 gallon batches, and was considering glass to get 6.5 gallons for two fermenters. So, it seems there needs to be three per batch. I have an abandoned 20# propane tank I found; thinking it's going back for a swap, filled, and getting some BB's.
Maybe there is, and maybe there ain't a deposit-if there is it's an amazingly small price to pay compared to the regular Better Bottle price + shipping..here comes the BETTER Better Bottle Acquisition Ethics Debate..
Oh, yeah, they're translucent BLUE.
