If you don't want to take notice of an answer don't ask the question.

Oh yeah I know how old you are and all I can say is you must have started really, really, really young.

Now that it is safe to go back in the water, did anyone else see this today?

Makes for interesting reading, considering that BPA based epoxies are the ones we are all using.

Yep, I think it's safe

Lends strong support to your original post be warned be cautious and use appropriate PPE.

Pity the article does not expand on the likely causes of high BPA levels I'm hoping the 1400 tested were not all boat builders

Thanks
Mike

Some links off the top of the google list.

Saw it.
I see the authors were careful to specify that it is a study of the physiological effects of BPA on huming beans, ONLY. It is not a study of the amount of BPA that can leach out of cured plastics, & therefore not a declaration that food-grade plastics are a
health risk.

I must note at this point that I no longer put homebrew into recovered plastic soft-drink
bottles. Doesn't make much difference if you drink the product within 3 months or so,
but taste is definitely affected if you allow brews to age properly.

Beers age properly, you've got to be kidding right? Beer should age in your belly or possibly absorb age as they pass through me. I realize you beer makers have to "age" the beer, but my friend Hans, who can't seem to make enough, just hasn't the volume to keep up, therefore we rob the cradle so to speak and let it age "naturally".

Light beers don't age well at all. Stouts, heavy ales & dry lagers reward patience by
being smoother on the palate, richer, more intense flavours,or more dry.

However, patience is not something which comes naturally to me. So i do boaty stuff
& waste time on the intarweb to string out each brew. And try to keep 8 to 10 varieties on-hand at all times.

Hans needs another fermenter & more bottles !!

Back when I was brewing regularly, I too discovered that they needed to age properly, which was really sad when I considered how rarely they got the opportunity

On a homebrew forum, I came across a post by a bloke who couldn't wait to sample the brew. He fitted the bottle filler (the gadget with the little valve at the bottom), lay on his back and pressed the button with his tongue. A nice gush into his mouth and he released the button. This worked well until the valve jammed open He said he nearly drowned before his wife realised what was happening and turned off the tap but ...
not a drop was spilled

Normally you blokes would be reported for off topic posts you are just lucky the subject matter saved you.

Should I move the brew posts to Home Brewing and leave the rest of the post to deal with 'pox? After all the other brewers who are not boaties might miss out on all this wisdom

Jeremy,
Boaties do need to be aware of the dangers and pitfalls of Homebrewing as well as the dangers of BPA in pox, some perhaps more than others. I therefore withdraw my previous comment and would recommend a new thread in Home Brewing warning of the dangers of not consuming said brew immediately if using plastics containing BPA on the pretext of aging.

I'll leave it to you to start that running, then

Great thread. I use vinyl gloves and only pay $4.50 box of 100's. They don't conform like nitrile but they do the job well and cost far less.

Razgo ... are you hi-jacking this homebrew thread?
