The spickets I have put together on my igloo coolers are 1/2in. pvc ball valves from Lowes. I'm pretty sure they aren't food grade. However, I did clean them and sanitize them. Will they be alright? I have heard various views that the pvc will emit gases into the wort or the pvc will melt. What do you folks use? I brought my cooler in with me to Lowes, but didn't get a real good fit using brass. I am about 2 weeks out from doing my first all grain brew. I trying to think everything through, and not slop together the operation. Thanks for the help!!
