A lot of the material that I have read is a bit old, so I thought I would ask.
What are your thoughts on aging mead in plastic bottles?
Some people say that it will oxidize in anything plastic, and others aT that PET Better Bottles are fine.
Others say that if it is a #1 in the triangle it is the same as a better bottle.
So, out of curemeocity, I looked at some of the bottles at my local grocery store. Half the bottles were #1 PETE. Including a few gallon jugs.
Seems like a inexpensive way to age mead in portions. Not to mention if I want to try different variations after fermentation.
Any thoughts?
