After being thoroughly impressed with the Brew Hauler on my secondary, I am considering buying second one for my primary and I have a question...
In order to keep my fermentation temps down, I use the tub of water and ice bottles method I have found on this site, so the question is this: Since I add Starsan to the water in the plastic tub, (to inhibit the growth of mold/bacteria) would the acidity level of the Starsan eat away at the Brew Hauler? I only ask since it will be partially submerged in the water for over a week at a time.
Also, I generally pour 1/2 gallon of pre-diluted Starsan (diluted to the directions on the bottle) that I have leftover from sanitizing while brewing into the tub, so I am sure the ph level is pretty low. I just hate to order the Brew Hauler and have it disintegrate due to prolonged exposure to Starsan.
