So I have my first batch of SP in the secondary and got a mouthful while racking ...yeasty..acidy but I can tell it's gonna be good after sweetening.
so I am already thinking about my next batch (cranberry lime) to prep for summer.
What is the consensus on storing SP in plastic milk jugs. (see link below)
They are relativity cheap, food safe (they store vinegar in these too) I know they are a little gas permeable (see the description for HDPE) but we are talking SP here not wine....I am looking for something to take on board during boating season so aside from a few bottles for gift giving I would love to stock up a shelf in the basement with these jugs. Better yet just buy 5 gals of spring water use it to make your variation of SP then you have 5 jugs! Just dry em spritz with star san and you're good to go....
