Glass Leaking Chemicals

Postby ColinAttard on Sat Oct 29, 2011 5:14 pm

Hi Fellow Fermenters :)
Just stated fermenting some vegetables and I have a question.
Can regular glass leak lead or some other nasty chemical while the fermentation is under way? And can it also leak after the fermentation while it is stored in the fridge?
Thanks

I try to stick with glass because I believe it's one of the safer things to use. I know lead can be an issue if you're using crystal or pottery that may have lead in the glaze.
