Howdy brewers! I posted this under beginners forum, cuz I've only been brewing about a year. And I don't understand how the hell it happened. Maybe some of you seasoned brewers can shed some light on it.
My primary bucket is cracked. Center of the bucket, Inside the ring on the bottom. Started off as a small crack that was barely there, is now aprox 4" long and 1/8" wide at the middle of the crack. Like the bucket got dried out somehow. dry enough to crack the plastic.
Rinsed with sanitizer after each use. Regular old beer brewing here, nothing fancy. used for 2-3 weeks, then rinsed, cleaned and sanitized and stored upside down most of the time, right side up sometimes. I'll post a pic when I get home, but its just a crack in my bucket!!
Food grade bucket from AHS. 1 yr old. ???
How do I prevent this?
