Are 5 gallon plastic water "jugs" from water distributors like Ozarka ok to use as secondary fermenters?
Surprisingly enough, most of those bottles are not actually food grade plastic. #1 is the only true food grade as some #2's are not actually food grade and below #2 is not in general. You want food grade for a multitude of reasons. Don't use non food grade for anything that will touch your beer/wort. If you do not want to spend quite as much on a glass fermenter try the bucket style ones. They are generally pretty cheap brand new and are food grade. To top it off, they are extremely easy to clean and carry.
