Hi Guys,
I have a particular PET peev at the moment regarding the so called pourous qualities of plastic bottles, cubes and fermenters. For this thread, the discussion is PET bottles as it seems there has been some recent talk on it.
Questions to be answered:
Does PET cause oxidisation in beer over an extended period of time? AHB Posts say yes.
Does PET cause loss of carbonation over an extended period time? AHB Posts say yes.
What is the recommended time for PET bottle storage and consumption?
And finally, but most importantly, has anyone actually tested this, or is based on the difference in the chemical properties/make up comparable to glass?
Scientific tests, specific to PET bottles used for home brewing and or anecdotal observations are welcome. Theories have been done to death...botulism anyone?
Okay there, I said it.
