I am working on building a hop back for my home brewery and I bought some PVC from Lowe's.
I was just wondering if it is food grade or if is at least safe to use in a brewing application.
I've heard CPVC is better but was unable to find any at Lowe's and opted for the regular PVC instead.
Can anyone tell me if it is sadfe to use the PVC on food/beer applications?
And if not what is the problem or reason to not use it for brewing beer?
Thanks

Is it safe to use regular store bought(Lowes) PVC in a beer brewing or food prep application?
If it isn't safe why not and what happens ?
