anyone bottled hefeweizens etc at the high end of carbonation in twist top longies? ie. vb longies etc. just weighed one and it came in at 430grams so quite a bit less than the coopers bottles
Yep, my last few hefe's have all been bottled in twist top tallies (~420 grams), using carb drops 'coz I like how they come out with high hefe-style carbonation levels. Some of the brews have been so highly carbed that you simply can't drink them out of the stubby, you have to pour them aggressively into a glass and let the head settle before tucking in.
Never had a bottle bomb, nor a pop top. Must have done 60 or more of the lightweight twist top tallies with hefe's.
I know its controversial, and needs to come with a disclaimer, but I really have been having trouble finding anyone getting a bottle bomb from correctly primed home brew...they all seem to be related to overpriming, bottling too early or some kind of infection.
I will admit that I was very nervous when I first started doing this, given the horror tales out there, but many months later with no failures I'm less concerned. Still mindful, usually my twist top tallies will go into a sealed esky in a cupboard sitting on a towel, as opposed to just in a cardboard box or sitting out in the open.
