food grade plastic is ok for wash/mash.

Food grade plastic is ok for a wash/fermenting. It's not so good for high abv or as a component in a still.

My personal favorite is polypropylene. Look for the recyclers code usually on the bottom of the container. It will appear as as a triangle formed out of arrows with the number 5 in the center and should have the letters pp just below that. Then you know its food grade.

For small batches ues a beer keg. I cut a hole in the top and used a stainless stock pot lid to cover it up. Its a perfect size for a keg boiler. Rack it off and u still got enough headspace left..

I use 50 gal olive barrels .. a local company gives me all i want. I use them to make deer feeders a d other things as well.
