Apologies if it was mentioned in the previous 16 pages, but is the swap still PET only?

Pretty simple actually. Taking the notion that CO2 is heavier than oxygen, I disconnect my gas post (damn i love JG quick release fittings). Stick the gas tube from the regulator deep into the bottle, crank the reg to around 100kpa and turn the bottle on. You will actually hear the air being pushed out from a sharp whistle to a deep drone as it becomes CO2 against CO2. Then i simply leave the bottles next to me in the coopers box etc whilst i begin my bottling. i do everything in a draft-free area so majority fo the co2 should stay in the bottles without any issues.
Now i know this isnt as good as CPBF and im not considering it as a replacment. But the difference between O2 in the headspace with my method is it really that much of an issue? Im sure there would be a crapload more from beer that is bottle conditioned direct from the fermenter compared to mine.
My main concern is the beer coming in contact with O2 while she fills. IMO, once you pop the lid on, any O2 in the headspace will be pushed up against the bottle top as some CO2 comes out of solution from the beer.
All of my processes post fermentation get this CO2 hit. Empty transfer keg gets purged when kegging from the fermenter. Bottles when bottling from the keg/fermenter, same deal. Keg to Keg transfer, Recieving keg gets the same.

your all getting icecream containers now!!! and theres gonna be covered in glad wrap!as long as the vessel holds atleast 700-750ml, be it glass, plastic, cling film, ice cream container. It holds pressure and is foodsafe.... use it!

Jeebus that is thorough! Why not just fill with a bit of gas line pushed up the tap? Purging every bottle would take you an eon.
I hope you sanitise the gas tube if you're sticking it in the bottle. :lol:

Nah - luckily I haven't been on the forum much lately, so I didn't see this discussion till it was over.
anyway, that's why I'm bringing my HWDMB - so if you're all dreadfully boring bogans I'll still have someone to talk to
by the way, is there a drop off point in the south eastern suburbs??? I'm too lazy to drive to thornbury before saturday, but I'd like to offload my beers so I can get pt on the day
Ha! thats the funniest thing ive read all day! Unfortunatly NO PET this swap, it was decided on Champage bottles only!
Acutally no, as long as the vessel holds atleast 700-750ml, be it glass, plastic, cling film, ice cream container. It holds pressure and is foodsafe.... use it!

I still disagree with this, should have been as the previous swaps and that's PET bottles
