Funny thing is, I have seen a lot of extremely sad looking cork bungs put to continual use, when they were clearly long passed any thinking hygienic use.
Pink bungs, no problem at the fermenting stage, wouldn't use them when storing anything that had been run.

Depends what you have in them

If fermenting a wash should be no problem

Hi level alcohol would be very marginal

I use the pink rubber ones for doing wine, but not for anything distilled.

May have been asked but are the standard pink demijohn bungs safe?
Thank you and sorry if I'm being stoopid!
