fermentation vessells

[easty]

hi guys
does anyone know what food grade plastic is. i am a builder and have seen that travis perkins sell 30l white plastic buckets for mixing plaster in, they look the same as a fermentation bucket but without a lid & less than half the price, would a sterilized one be suitable for brewing in, with cling film over top or damp towel

I wouldn't dismiss them if you need a cheap bucket.
If the Buckets are unused and carry the Food Grade 'Knife & Fork' logo they would be cool...

If you can confirm they are virgin grade polypropylene they will be fine........

Can you imagine Travis & Perkins counter staff being able to answer that question?

Nope!!! would like to be there when they were asked! perhaps they'd start flicking through those files they seem to keep under the counter?

You just totally miss-quoted me, that was Lillywhite's comment.

I think Travis & Perkins counter staff would actually say "No idea, mate but plasterers seem to like them".

i would knock the plaster out of if first

Might save adding gypsum if you didn't

You know what they say about about plasterers?

Strong in the arm, weak in the head.
