WARNING: Plastic buckets are not safe

[dkrasmon]

Make sure it is BPA free!
Then anyone should be fine.
All My fermenters are food grade white and BPA free.
So far so good.

The problem is that plastics in contact with food stuffs is simply unavoidable in modern life. Even if you give up fermenting in a plastic bucket, damn near everything else you are eating is (or has been) in contact with food grade plastics at some point...

So what? Too much sun causes skin cancer, so you see the choices are (1) don't worry about it, because sunlight is everywhere, or (2) shut yourself up in a closet for your entire life just to avoid the sun. That's a false choice. The idea is to minimize exposure within reason.

Personally I am much more likely to drop a glass carboy on my foot and have it be cut off than I am to have any problems from possibly drinking some chemicals.

 

[BobbiLynn]

not getting this analogy...

are plastic buckets the sidewalks or the street?

is the sleeping driver the disruptors or the glass carboy?


Grog. Confused. Now.

Sleepy driver is the disruptor and buckets are the sidewalks!! Streets are the glass carboys and sidewalks are plastic! Something like that.

I'm 50, I don't give a hoot.

I am 57, I give less than a hoot.

 

[Denny]

I am 57, I give less than a hoot.

I'm 61 and I give multiple hoots.

I am still not worried. I do not ferment in really cheap buckets. I have been eating food from plastic since I can remember. My man ****s are no bigger than normal for my weight. Besides my Ouija board said I am going to die from Bubonic Plague!

Hysterical.

 

[Piratwolf]

Seems like Aubie, djt, and Denny are proof of conflicting evidence on the effect of plastic buckets on hooters. Still waiting on "evidence" from BobbiLynn...

Thought about it but don't want to get in trouble over that "****" rule here. I can say though, a friend I hadn't seen in a while saw me recently, ran over, grabbed one in each hand and said "What have you done?!? Were they expensive?!?". She said they felt expensive but I told her "Nope, around $15.00 for the bucket and that came with a plastic spigot too."

my thoughts exactly.

This thread is just plain stupid!! Trolls are everywhere in here! If you understand research methods (at the graduate level of higher education) you would laugh at the research presented here. I am going to present these studies to my next class for a project to dissect flaws in research methods. This will be a good learning objective.

Please, enlighten us. Oh educated one.

Excuse me, Bill Nye. Did you miss the part where BobbiLynn wrote something like, "She grabbed one in each hand..."

HELLO?!?!?

Beauty > safety. That's why we're men. QFT.

Yeah, she grabbed my buckets and thought it was a much better idea than the glass I had been using. Yes, the beauty of it outweighs a lot.

I don't think analogies always have to be explained, that's why they are analogies, interpret however you'd like.
