    PET bottles and tops

    PET bottles and tops

    This could be a daft question but do you have to use new screw caps on every new brew?? Also is there a limit to how many time PET bottles can be used due to wear and tear on the threads, i wouldn't want to loose pressure due to this. Thanks

    Bottle colour

    I read before that as soon as the sediment moves then you are supposed to stop pouring... also i dont have kitchen cabinet lights just a big light haha
