Is this made of PETE (recycle number 1)? I need PETE for home brewing.

This has a #5 in the recycle triangle - we got it for putting Honeymoon Fund $$ in for our daughter's wedding, so it didn't need to be "food safe".

On the bottom it says recycled for water use only, and in the small triangle it's a number 7. It's a great size, but sorry, not a number 1.

Bulrush, No it is not #7 (polycarbonate) you might look at a milk jug, I believe there number 2 , or a one gallon water jug.

It does not indicate specifically on the label or bottle anything about BPA free. Says "PETE" and has the little recyclable arrow-triange with a #1 in the middle....

No, it's made to be brewed and stored in glass jars. There are other products for on the go you can search on Amazon.

I don't know; there's no recycling code on the bottom of the collecting containers.Their email address is omega@omegajuicers.com

I use this for measuring my OG and FG of my beers. My friend who got me into brewing and works for a national beer supply distributor also uses this. You can calibrate this with distilled water. Does that mean it's accurate? I have to think so. I have not compared the results of this against my hydrometer, but if they were off I'm not sure which would be more accurate.

No, it is BPA-free plastic and is able to withstand brewing temperature. I love mine!

Yes it is. You should know, however that the nipple and hose barb are all one piece. It's easier if it's two separate pieces. Otherwise, this is a really good beer tap.

As someone who has purchased this item, the label reads, "brewed in Walworth, WI". So, yes.

i don't think so. My spouse is the beer brewer but it is a very specific recipe. The cans of malt are syrupy and i don't think you could ever measure the stuff out and get it right. Ya gotta stay with the recipe as it is or go to a brew store near you and have them make you a mix. And if you buy one of those 5 gallon fermenters, get plastic not glass. we don't usually break things but we broke that and the plastic has worked well. hope this helps.

Dear Carly My Soft'n Style bottles have a UPC code and say nothing at all about where they are made. As I bought them for hand soap dispensers, I never gave it a thought. However, the UPC code is #1 and says PET beneath it (not PETE) but I suppose it's meant to be the same. This is what I found for what the numbers in the triangle mean: Number 1 - PETE - Poly(ethylene terephthalate): Soda bottles, water bottles, cooking oil bottles, and medicine containers. I think #1 is the highest grade, but if these are made in China (as seems likely considering the price) then I don't know if you can trust it. As to whether they would work for condiments as far as function goes, I would say, yes, definitely. I am pleased to have such large containers because I got tired of having to refill the small ones every time I turned around. Hope this is of use to you.

It can be similar but it is unlikely you would think it is the same beer. Since you would be fermenting and bottling this beer yourself, you will not have the same results as a professional commercial brewery with precision temperature control and sanitary conditions. You might make something drinkable that you like to drink though.

I couldn't tell you. I didn't test the gravity at any point. It didn't make good beer anyway. If you want my suggestion. Go to www.northernbrewer.com. And order their brewing kit. Either the large 5 gallon kit if you really want to brew. Or the 1 gallon kit of you want tiny amounts. It's real brewing.

No, I have used mine for about 15 batches of beer. It is still in perfect shape.

It is an extract brew. It does have some grains for steeping and woodchips for adding to the primary. You will want to get Irish Moss. Decent kit. Very drinkable beer even without the clearing agent.

The only way home brewing would be an option is if you were able to reuse an old barrel. I doubt stores sell an empty barrel.

if you mean kits like Mr Beer kits, where you "just add water", then no, it does not work with those. this is for when you want to go buy hops, yeast, grain, and malt extract from brewing supply stores and follow a recipe to make actual beer. I bought this for my husband for Christmas, and it has exploded into a hobby we both enjoy. We have made several types of beers, have a recipe for a killer hard carmel apple cider, and have a couple meads aging. no kits, but still easy to start as a new hobby. I definitely recommend the book "the complete guide to home brewing" to go along with this if you mean kits like Mr Beer kits, where you "just add water", then no, it does not work with those. this is for when you want to go buy hops, yeast, grain, and malt extract from brewing supply stores and follow a recipe to make actual beer.

I don't know anything about the Brooklyn beer kit, but I reckon it could be made in any equivalent kit. I made my first few beers in a 2 1/2 gallon water bottle, unscrewing the lid every day to let out the excess CO2. I suggest you check the Mr. Beer process on Youtube (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2HsvmEE_bg), and follow that with your kit.
