I am looking for a better solution for storage of distilled spirits. Last year I talked at length with a brewer in NC that runs 200 gallons at a time. Anyway...some of his product we were tasting… he had in the classic quart Mason jar. Others he had in one gallon (new) milk jugs. He said that some brew can't be kept on plastic as it would change the taste. Everything we tasted was greater than 100 proof. BTW...(and I didn't know...) that plastic milk/water jugs when manufactured are folded and collapsed for packing and shipping. He had about 25 cases...at 100 to the case! Look at the bottom of the jug the way it is made! The end user “inflates” the jug! ...Who knew!
Anyway...I've started storing some low wines in my used distilled water jugs (Wal-Mart) for reprocessing later. I would appreciate any comments regarding storing "keeper" stuff in plastic until it is needed for flavoring, etc. I have several carboys but when you're only talking about a few gallons of various brew...that's not real practical.
