1L bottles ?

[Benjamin_B]

Hi all -- I'm looking for a good lead on good quality and affordable one litre swing top bottles.

I've ordered and used the following one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NRRYPWW/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

But the quality is questionable. According to the manufacturer they can withstand 4 bar, and that's really pathetic. I've had multiple bottles break on me from brews.

Any tips appreciated. Want to use bottles like this for a cider, which I intend to carbonate with a sodastream.

M&S sell glass swing tops of different lemonades. I think they are 1l. Can't remember the price but iirc it's pretty reasonable considering the bottle. Also they are sometimes on offer at 3 for £5. Hope this helps.

Ikea sell 1l swing tops, if you have a local store you could buy 1 or 2 to check them out before investing in a load.

Don't think the IKEA ones are safe for carbonated drinks.

They are 750ml
I always tell swmbo and my daughter to get them as "you never know when you will run out of juice" 😉

Ahh my mistake. They're still pretty good though.

Would the stoneware bottles off that site be any good for brews?

4 bar is about 58psi, which should be enough for any beer, from what I've read on t'interweb.
Perhaps you've had a poor batch.
I'm not so sure about the square shape - surely there is an inherent weakness in the shape.

I've never bought an empty bottle !! next time I go to Holland I'm going to stock up on empties :wink:

I've got a load of these from my local he just throws them out otherwise. They work a treat and if they can hold Prosecco they be fine with any beer.

Possible. I've had four of them crack on me in two different batches and they weren't badly brewed overprimed plonks. For the last one I released pressure from them as a precaution.

When I complained to the manufacturer they assured me the bottles were good for 4 bar and sent me two new bottles as a good Will gesture. But an Amazon reviewer had the same complaint. So not sure.

Thanks @davejhs -- will look into them.
