Priming 680-700 ml bottles

Post by Big Al »

I have come across some 680 -700 ml bottles that are crown seals, what i was wondering was, can you use carbonation drops in these or is that going to make the bottles explode!

Will give 2 drops a go in some and Dex in some to try. I am a bit lazy and time poor for bulk priming but keen to giove it a go. Going to do a Coopers brewmaster pilsner next and put most into glass as I am sick of PET brews going flat at 6months or so just when they are getting good.
