Anyone use milk jugs for starters or for fermenting 1 gal batches? It must be food grade plastic. I just haven't specifically heard about anyone using them. Wondering if there'd be something wrong with it I'm not thinking of.

I've never been able to get the milk smell out of them. Don't know if that would matter or not?
No problems as long as they're well cleaned / sanitized. 2L soda bottles may be better, with a screw cap.

I have 4 one gallon glass milk jugs that I use as fermenters on small batches, have for years,,they are hard to come by but worth the search.

You could also use the glass gallon jugs that apple juice/cider comes in. Works well for me. Some even have a nice little handle.
