Plastic Tray For False Bottom

[aneray]

I bought a plastic tray this morning which I am going to convert into a false bottom for my mashtun.

On the bottom of the tray is a triangle with 05 in it and PP under it. Is this rating the one where I can use it for food purposes, or is it a waste of a quid at the poundshop.

Cheers Neil :thumb:

You could use a large plastic picnic plate turned upside down drilled with holes

That identifies it as Polypropylene, general information identifies it as safe but there is some info which may indicate a leeching issue.

Thanks for the replies guys :thumb:

After posting this I did Google it and saw the same info about the leeching.

I might give it a go, I don't think a ninety minute mash at an average temperature of 66 degrees will make much difference :pray:

I made mine out of a piece of 5mm acrylic as used in the sign industry and I am still alive :lol: :lol:.

I was looking at the 5mm acrylic at my local hardware store. I only want a small piece for a Coleman coolbox but they wanted eighteen quid for it.

Just spotted that, is there a Brewery Logo or picture galley :lol:
On a more serious note, polycarbonate would be a better option, got any dealers down there ?, a small piece would be an off cut, otherwise how about theonestopplasticsshop, vat and pp may up the price, but there could be a little business enterprise there by over ordering

It was a silly idea right from the start.

Out to buy some acrylic sheet today I think.

Mines very similar to yours Baz and it too works a treat :thumb:
