2 of my last couple of brews have been bottled in PET bottles. Usually I use 500ml glass bottles.
I have noticed (or should I say wasted) several bottles, after a week or 2, are quite easy to squeeze.
When I do squeeze them I can hear air being sucked in and out.
As a result I have found the beer in the bottles to be flat.
All bottles are capped the same way (with the white caps) and I ensure the caps are on as tight as I can screw them.
Is this an example of older PET bottles becoming more pourous?
