I have an HDPE plastic can originally used for cooking oil. I thought I should try the no-chill method, in which one has the boiling wort into the can to sterilize it, and then let it cool overnight before proceeding to fermentation.
Do you think such a can can be used for this purpose (can it stand the heat and not give off flavors), or do I need to buy some specialized can for this purpose? I'm going to test the cooling method with hot water tonight (I will put the can in a larger vessel to be on the safe side).
