 >I have a "ton" of plastic jars in the 1/2 gal range that would be great 
for the amount I make.  Any reason why I cannot use them?

No reason at all that I know of.  I keep all of mine in plastic containers 
and have done so for the last five years.  I will add here, though, that I 
make sure to switch to a clean, sterile container every few refreshments.

Good luck.
