bottling with plastic screw-tops

you can also get the 1/2 gallon growlers with the flip-top (grolsch style).
I was told to avoid those as well. Perhaps it's time to start thinking about where I get my advice? I will try a half gallon grolsch style growler with my next batch and see how it goes. I'll let you know.
In the meantime, if anyone has anymore ideas of unique or distinctive recepticles I'd love to hear about them!
Thanks!
Bottoms Up!
The owner of my company (who is currently in Italy), brought me in some vinegar and wine bottles he had brought back from Italy years ago. They are clear glass, so light control is a big issue, but they have swingtops on them. I bottled w/ them once and it is thick glass so there were no issues, but it looked cool because the beer was much more visible, a fat tire amber to boot.
So all you have to do is go to Italy and get some aged vinegar...
thirstydean-
if you are using screw top growlers, be careful. they are not usually strong enough to bottle in (i.e. bottle carbonate with priming sugar). on the other hand, if you are kegging, they work fine for transport, serving, and looking cool.

I bottle in the grolsch style growlers all the time. Never had a problem and if you are having friends over there's less clean-up.
Somewhere recently I heard of a recipe to mix up and spray on your yard to help kill bugs that included beer.... could use the Lite on the yard ..ha
