Does anyone know if this can be used for brewing or wine fermentation, maybe made of Polyethylene to ensure no chemical reactions?

I do not know....I use to drain gas tanks from various farm machines....suggest you go direct to the manufacturer for that one...good luck (and please, report back if you can!)

I use it to make fermented vegetables. It allows the natural gases to escape.

Sorry, but I don't know. I've been concerned about that some myself, but it's at least a better option than the plastic bottles. Otherwise I've been very happy with it. :-)

I really don't know, but fermented food continues to ferment and off gas making pressure so I would think it is inadvisable to try and seal it in a vacuum. Perhaps making smaller batches or eating it up faster would help -not sure my refer is 97% ferments in jars! (I think I am not one to talk!)

Our local microbreweries won't fill it. What we have been doing is filling growlers and transferring the beer after sanitizing, no need to add sugar. We are using this with a mini kegorator, with the CO2 cartridge it will last a good month, or until the beer runs out (whichever occurs first).

I don't know for sure, however, ive used it with both beer and wine and it is wonderful!! the yeast just explode into activity! so, I would imagine that it would work for that as well. if I was you, I would not broadcast my intentions on the internet. someone will tell on you! count on it. but im sure that this will aid in creating a good mash for whatever reason. I highly recommend this product.

I do not use it for the fermentation of my wines but depend on my Hydrometer readings. But I do use it to test the brix of grapes, blueberries, and other fruit for my making of country wines.

Are you wanting to clean the keg or sanitize it? This is a sanitizer and will kill all bad bacteria. I use it for sanitizing my beer and wine equipment and it works fine. Same principle would apply to fermenting your Kombucha, you don't want bad bacteria in it or it will ruin it. I don't think it will ruin your future brewing's at all, Hope this helps.

This is for pre fermentation only , post fermentation should only be checked with a hydrometer

I tried using it to brew with, and got a zero result. I did not read anywhere that this is 'Dead Yeast in a Jar'. But, that's what it is. What I did, fortunatly, was to try to make a yeast starter before brewing and pitching. Got zero activity twice! Although I don't eat it, I decided to use it as a yeast nutrient for my light beers and Mead. When brewing a light beer, I put in a heaping tablespoon in the boil. When I make a Mead I put two heaping tablespoons in a little water and boil for a few minutes, then pitch into the must just before adding the active yeast. I hope this helps. ~Carl

I believe this aerator is intended solely for wine and actually infuses the wine with more air to enhance the flavor. I think the aerator would add more air and more bubbles to the beer and you would not achieve the results you'd hoped for.

I've never made wine so I don't know. It's a sturdy plastic container and has a screw top. It works great for water.

I have this installed on my water well pressure tank the old one was plastic and crap this is a very well made. I am sorry, but I do not know if it is suitable for brewing. MY water well keeps pressure at about 40- 50 Psi it works great for that. If you brew and your pressure is ion that range I would say go for it.

it is used for lactic acid fermenting of vegtables. I am using mine this very moment making homemade siracha.

I am using it to make chalk paint but on the label it says something about fermentation. Hope this helps.

This is my first plastic carboy and the cabernet sauvignon that I've racked between the 2 plastic carboys I bought is quite delicious and the carboy cleaned up just fine with no staining. I've been fermenting for about 4 months now. My only issue is that even thought they say they are 6 gallons they are abit smaller than my six gallon glass carboy by about a 750 mls bottle of wine.

Yes, it brewed just like beer brew it and bottle it and prime it with a bit of sterilized cider I did it back a few years ago, also made mead cutting the standard recipes. It worked well, except you had to move it out fairly quickly to prevent the dead yeast from giving it an off flavor.,
