Then, theoretically, it would be OK to bottle your beers in clear glass, as long as you did the "Slip-Slop-Slap" with each one with an SPF 30+ goop & tell it to drink plenty of fluids & get into shade between 11am-3pm??
Um.......................

yes
 
After a lot of hard work testing various beer bottles in that batch, we have come to the clear (albeit hiccupy) conclusion that it is indeed the clear bottles that causes the funny taste. Only using brown bottles from now on for home brewing - the clear bottles have been transferred to the bottle craft section of the shed for cutting.
 
I always cringe when I see people on gumtree selling their brewing equipment that comes with "Six cartons of corona stubbies! These are perfect for homebrew".

No wonder they are selling all their gear.

They drink these at my work. I always get offered them to reuse, I gladly accept and cash them in next recycle run.
 
Incidentally, almost all light sources output UV radiation in some degree.
Whether it's a candle, a fluro, an old tungsten filament globe or halogen light.

While you can get LED lights that specifically output UV in a fashion similar to 'blacklight' lamps, I'm not sure whether LEDs that are set to output a 'daylight' or 'warm light' colour temperature output UV radiation.
If I could be bothered doing the research, I'm sure there's specs on it somewhere in the sphincternet.

Dam SA's and your recycling perks.
