I've been told you use a Rubbermaid cooler to house hot water used while brewing. A hot liquid (grain and water basically) would sit in this for an hour or two. Is this the type of plastic that gives off Bisphenol-A into liquid when it comes into contact with a hot liquid? I don't want any of this to get into my "mash tun", but this is the cheap way to brew like this at home.
I have no idea of what these coolers are made of and my knowledge of chemistry is about 1/10000th of what most people here have. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thank you.
