Cubes

[stew.w]

ive been using these cubes for the last last couple of brews.
they are used for distilled water and the mechanic uses the water to top up the forklift batteries at work and when they're empty he gives them to me.
i assume they are alright to use for no chill???
i have been using them for a couple of brews and i cant taste anyting and the plastic doesnt deform when hot wort hits them.
does anyone know what this thing on the bottom means and if these are ok to use?
they dont get anything else put i them either





Cheers,

Stewart

I think that date would be the date the cube was made, so May 2008 in this case.

I don't know what that logo means but what you're looking for is HDPE

If they have that then 100% OK. Otherwise I don't know..

Steve I use cubes from work too that have distilled water in them, they have the same stamp as your'es plus the number 2 inside a triangle Dbod showed all good I hope, not sure about the heat they get though from the wort after the boil but have'nt dropped dead yet.
