How To Cap Glass Softdrink/mineral Water Bottles?

[sponge]

It didn't just blow the lid it ripped the plastic?

So that must have been one seriously carbed up brew for it to rip thru plastic?

I used a 2L mt franklin bottle, and also a 1.25L soft drink bottle (some sort of schweppes one, cant remember what it was) as a little experiement because i had a bit of brew still left in the fermenter and had ran out of bottles

The soft drink one worked fine, but yes, the water bottle just ripped a bit. So just stick to bottles which were made for being nice and carbed up :icon_cheers:

That appletiser stuff is fizzy as hell, waaaaay fizzier than any beer ive ever drunk, so why would the carb levels not be ok? :huh:

How many reuses are people getting out of Coopers/Morgans 740ml PET bottles ?

The reason I ask as I am on my third reuse and a few of the bottles seem to be weeping slightly from the bottom looks to be coming from the centre blip where they are moulded.

I don't think it is over pressure as there are pressure relief slots in the neck threads. Storage temperatures are always a problem up here in the tropics even in winter.

looks like I need to change my font size
