Plastic fermenters?

[Hofer]

what does anybody think about lagering in HDPE tanks? I understand the concern re primary fermentation for sure...

I see even less problem if at all with primary fermentation in plastic than with secondary or lagering: there is no concern for O2 permeability.

From the tech point of view there is no difference between lagering and ales cold maturating at 32F/0C.
