whats the difference if any?
Type of plastic - Brewers want #1 or #2 type plastics ... water bottlers are usually #7 and are not good for alcohol or fuels like a #1 or #2.
Better bottles are not JUST PET. They are PET that is free from alot of the chemicals that are in most other PET bottles. www.better-bottle.com . Well worth it IMO.
Marketing at its best there are only two ingredients in PET .So which one did the makers of the better Bottle leave out? If you add other things it is no longer #1 PET

So they add chemicals to water bottles that would be harmful if digested?
Ethenal Alcohol + wrong plastic = micro-particles entering ingestable liquid. Short term, prob not harmfull, long turn could be bad. Especially when you continue to use the same wrong plastic bottles over and over. For goodness sakes, spend a few more dollars, your going to eat it, make sure your safe. Safety is worth a few more bucks imho.
I would think a #1 water bottle is food grade.
It has food (water intending to be drank) in it. It has to be food grade.

"PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate, a plastic resin and a form of polyester. Polyethylene terephthalate is a polymer that is formed by combining two monomers: modified ethylene glycol and purified terephthalic acid"
Sam's carries Monadnick spring water that is in #1 PET but they are only 4 gallons I have a few I use for Apfelwein.
