So what do you guys think about plastic in brewing?
I have always been a bit reluctant to using plastics in cooking and storing food (I use only glass, cast iron, and stainless steal). Does anybody know of any ill-effects using plastic may have on one's health? I remember back in high school my mother would tell me to not drink water in plastic bottles when left in the sun because "It will make you gay" (something to do with hormones). I am just wondering if this irrational fear of plastic steams from this or if it has any validity. Does anybody know of any scientific studies on the topic?
Related question: Is it okay to just dump four gallons of boiling water into a plastic fermenter? Does boiling water change the answer to the above?
