"Bottle" my beer in a plastic keg

chel0 · Feb 23, 2010

Hello to all!!

I'm almost done with my batch and the time to bottle is coming...Can I "bottle" my beer in a 5 lt. plastic keg that came with a mini kegerator I bought some time ago??
Does the plastic have some bad effects on the flavour of the beer??

Thank you all for the help!!
: cheers:

if its steralised properly plastic wont pass any off flavours just think of all the food items that come packed in plastic if it gave flavours it wouldnt be used unless it was the flavour wanted.
clean and sterile and it the same as metal or glass its just glass and metal are easier to keep in good condition without scratches as this is what causes problems with plastic
I use both a boots plastic presure barrel and a corniluse keg and the beer is the same in both
so plastic is ok
