larger bottles
That does make sense. So do you think the same would be true for beer? I would now beleive that a keg would keep better than a bottle, as most of the volume occupied by are would be consumed with CO2.
I can see why the wineries would want to age their wines quicker, but it is pretty disappointing to open a 4 year old bottle of what used to be pretty good wine only to find that it has declined quite a bit.
Would depend largely on how you filled each. If you were to flush with CO2 a bottle could be just as good. I dont understand why wineries couldnt do something similar, but I guess youd then be carbing the wine unintentionally.
Speaking of larger bottles... What about the GREEN bottles that Martinelli's sparkling apple cider come in? Would they take the preassure created by the beer, or is it just a bigger bomb? My "Home Beermaking" book reccomends using champagne bottles because they're designed to handle the pressure. The martinelli's bottles seem pretty thick... Truth is I'm getting desparate for bottles, and am trying to limit my cost per bottle so I'm scrounging off anyone I can. That's why I ask...
I've started to buy brews just because it's not a twist off cap,lol.
I wouldn't think it would matter if it was a wine bottle,if they handle the pressure
better, go for it.
Marv.
I think the Martinelli's bottles would work fine.
Score! That brings my collected bottle total to 3.
Keep them in the dark though, unless you're filling them with Heinikin.
Do those sparkling cider bottles take a regular beer cap? If so I'm going to look for them at the recycler. I usually get my bottles from local college kids but I'm thinking that they won't be drinking a lot of sparkling cider.
I've used various sized bottles for the same batch of beer and seen very little, if any, difference in the end result. Larger bottles mean less works, but also less beer for me if I give any away.
