I was looking into vessels to ferment beer and possibly mead, then thought that the glass carboy's are neat because you can see what's going on inside. The other thing i like is that can be airtight with a simple bung. But, after a bit more research i feel like they are unsafe. Saw a bunch of photos of injuries caused when they break.
Anyone tried that product? It looks opaque not clear though. From the description:
Special PET has negligible oxygen permeability and no tastes or odor are imparted into your wine or beer.
Stain resistant , smooth, non-porous, non-absorbing, and the hydrophobic surface does not carry over flavors and soaks clean without brushing.
But is that just marketing hype? Or can I really use it for dozens of batches of beer.. Have heard of better bottles, but can't buy them in the uk for a non exorbitant price. Is this a cheap rip-off of better bottle?
