I asked my home brew shop for a cork for the top of a 5 gallon water cooler bottle. He said he would sell it to me but did not recomend it because they deteriorate, crack, and eventually leak. He also mentioned the plastics breaking down and blending with the beer. I trust him and passed on the cork but wanted to get some second and third ect. Opinions on this. He said this would happen with other "food grade" buckets you can get at the store or from resturants. He said they aren't made to handel alcohol. What do you think? Thanks for the input.
