Background: I'd rather buy a plastic conical fermenter FOR NOW until I can afford a SS one.
Questions: Can fermenting in food-grade plastic (HDPE, MDPE, or whatever) lead to any dreaded "off-flavors?" Can the plastic "leach" into the beer? If so, do you have any data (e.g. links) to back it up?
Not asking for anyone's opinion - just looking for scientific logic or experience or something justifiable.
BTW - I love these forums.
