Pouring high ABV through a plastic funnel?

Post by DrunkOgre »

Everything I've read says do not store alcohol in plastic containers... Is it safe to transfer it from one glass container to another glass container, through a plastic funnel? If it matters, I'm talking 85-90% abv.

Not advisable. Use stainless steel or make a copper funnel.
