Hello all, just figured I'd start a new casual topic. I wanted to share my bottling techniques using 40oz bottles. I found it was cheap and easy to assemble a batch of brown, glass, 40oz malt liquor bottles with screw top caps. They have so far proven to be excellent for bottling homebrew, and I use about 15 of them for a standard 23L batch.
I am from Maine, USA and my local marts are stacked with cheap 40oz bottles of Natural Ice, Milwaukee's Best, and Pabst Blue Ribbon. The worst part is just having to drink my through them, but it's nice to only have to clean, sanitize, and prime 15 bottles. I use exactly one tablespoon of dextrose which primes perfectly, and have also found that the screw top caps do a good job of sealing, not a flat bottle yet.
So what do you have the best luck with?
