I'm brewing my very first beer - a brown ale. Everything seems to be going well - a buddy of mine and I racked it to secondary on Thursday night. For the secondary fermentation, I used a five-gallon plastic water bottle from my bubbler. Cleaned and sanitized it with Star San - racking went well.
On Saturday, I popped into one of the local homebrew stores to browse, and spoke with one of the guys there. He was concerned that the plastic water bottle might not be a good idea, and that it might not be the same grade of plastic used in the "Better Bottle" system.
Question: was he just trying to sell me a carboy, or is using the water bottle going to harm my beer in any way?
Thanks!
