Coopers PET bottles

[MashBag]

Two questions really.

Are they any good?

Are they available in clear?

I have about 100 in regular use for past few years with no issues, I have some cheaper brown PET bottles that although you can feel are thinner still do the job.

Why would you want them clear? Given the risk of light strike?

Light strike. Hmm
My beer lives in the dark and then only briefly. So if light strike really is a thing that needs worrying about, it's gotta be quacking bright to affect my beer

More important to me is pouring and seeing what is going on.

Thanks for confirming my other suspicion.. The cheap ones are a bit thin.

Well mine don't see the light of day either :) but some else might read this in 29 years time and not be as careful as us

Have you considered clear glass wine bottles and these -

I always thought wine bottles were not suitable for pressure
