Bundaberg 750ml glass bottles - carbonation

Noodles · Post by **Noodles** » Monday Nov 27, 2006 2:35 pm

I picked up the idea from someone on this forum to collect the Bundaberg Ginger Beer 750ml glass bottles for my homebrew. I've tried a couple now and they were both undercarbonated compared to the pet bottles and crown seals i also use.

Does anyone else use these bottles and if so, how is their carbonation? I'm not sure if i've under primed a couple of bottles or if it's going to be an ongoing problem. If they don't seal properly i'll obviously stop collecting them.

I use them, they come out fine & take the standard Coopers PET caps

I use a new cap each time

Cheers

I recon the caps are your problem. As beerpig said- the coopers ones work well.

I'll buy a bag of coopers caps and give them a go. I've just been steralising the original metal (twist top) caps and putting them back on. Thanks for the tip.

just keep the lid off a softdrink bottle as they are the same.

Coke bottle lids are an exact fit for coopers P.E.T bottles
