I know it is not a good idea in theory...Has anyone had a batch of beer messed up by a #7 water bottle...? thanks
I'd worry more about man boobs from my beer gut migrating north than from BPE
Standard water cooler bottles labeled as #7 are polycarbonate or polystyrene, and oxygen permeable. These are made from Bisphenol-A (BPA) which recently have been criticized for releasing chemicals and compounds into food and drink items that may be dangerous. I'm sure someone has used them with success, but they are not recommended for beer/winemaking. Google Bisphenol-A (BPA) and check out Wikipedia it has tons of info on this material and its health risks as well as technical info.
