    Warning Regarding Big W PET Beer Bottles, and my Introduction to AHB

    Believe me I wish I had the funding to consider Kegging, but sadly at this point I don't. Maybe in the future I will be more financially viable (with brewing good beer at cheaper prices) but currently I just can't. But I can understand how it would make things much better. I only have about 25...

    Warning Regarding Big W PET Beer Bottles, and my Introduction to AHB

But I mixed in the Hop scum and left it for another day and the gravity remained the same (sure, it sounds dumb now that I mention it). I sterilized everything, so I was always hoping it wasn't infection...

    Warning Regarding Big W PET Beer Bottles, and my Introduction to AHB

    madpierre: Yeah, I'm assuming bottle failure, as I've tried other PET bottles and no issues. I do have a good collection of Tallies and stubbies I can use, but they were being used to store a Burleigh Brewing 28 replica I had brewed en masse. GrumpyPaul: I could have used my Wulffehound...
