New to brewing, have a few questions.

Do you have a bottle filler?
Sorry, what is that? I don't believe so..
I bought some tubing today from Home Depot. It's Polyethylene. The box said it was safe to use for water lines and ice makers, this should be safe right?
Here's a link:

Isn't polyethylene the really stiff, cloudy white colored tubing? While I'm sure any sanitary tubing will work, you may find a more flexible type tubing easier to work with. Especially when trying to stretch the tubing over a racking cane, bottle filler, barb, etc.

Yes but it will work. I use vinyl tubing. only about 16 cents a foot at mills fleet farm. I get 20 feet of it and cut it to length. the stiffer stull would need to be clamped on probably so it would be more difficult to use but could work.

I've been using 1 litre PET plastic bottles for the last 27 recipes I've brewed, I rinse them out in the sink when they get emptied and then sanitize them with One-Step™ sanitizer on bottling day. The plastic bottles are light weight, easy to clean and reuse and can hold carbonation levels for over 12 months.
I agree with the previous posts recommending using only food grade components in your brewing process, we're brewing natural beer why take chances introducing off flavors, odors or worse.
