Using clear bottles

[Spacedhopper]

Have quite a few clear bottles don't really want to bin them! Any thoughts on using them????

I've heard of skunking

By all means use them, but ensure that the filled bottles are kept in the dark.
I think clear bottles 'look' better for light ales & lagers.

You could brew a really nasty no flavour lager and then serve it with a wedge of lime to hide all the off flavours from leaving beer in direct sunlight??

:party:

I spent a lot of time not using clear bottles but now I have loads (I especially like the Wilko ones). I just keep them in a cardboard box in the shed and only sup them after dark (like a really boring beer-Dracula.)

I use a mixture of brown, green and clear bottles and never bother keeping them in the dark either - and have never noticed any difference between them. Maybe I don't keep them long enough...

I always have a few clear ones.. Its actually quite nice to see how a beer is clearing.. I keep them in boxes. I always throw a towel over the boxes while in the house carbing anyway..

Then in the garage they are in the dark anyway..

I use clear bottles ex.spitfire (Bought them full for a £1 each at Sainsbury on offer) and Bishops Finger (Currently £1.25 at Lidl) and keep the sun off them as the previous poster.
