Tilt. What a great idea and handy brewing tool.
However, after reading a recent Consumer Report’s article on plastics we ingest, ingesting plastics are NEVER A GOOD THING!.
I’m concerned about the Tilt as it’s in a plastic casing. How do we know the Tilt plastic casting will NOT leach into the beer? How do we know the Tilt plastic casting will not become a forever plastic in our bodies?
???
Millions or billions of drinks and foods are packed in plastic.
Most all beers touch a petroleum-derivative hose at some point.
Is there anything specific about Tilt that worries you?

I use a PET fermenter already, so I am not concerned about a hydrometer in a plastic container.
Yeah, in the sea of plastics in which I’m swimming, my TILT is waaaay down on the list of concerns.
Lucky for me, I’m old enough that I’m pretty sure I’m just going to die of old age before my exposure to plastic gets me.
