darwin stubby

[Bum]

Hi Bum - you did actually say "before" in your previous blog, but now I get it - you meant before you drink the next beer, huh?

No. As I said - pour beer, wash bottle, drink beer. The next beer is still capped in its bottle.

Thanks for the tip brewbeast, bleach worked a treat , & svyturys as well

[brewbeast]

just make sure you never use bleach on anything plastic

The rule in my house is to wash the bottle before you drink the beer.

+1 on that,
Cold rinse them thoroughly at pour out & put the rinsed cap back on, then you only need to hot rinse them before re-loading (provided that isn't too long).

while on the subject, has anyone had success bottling darwins?, do they differ from longies?

Yes, I had two of'em years ago & used them several times before they got broken or misplaced in house moves, as Bum says, just work out the amount of priming sugar & all is good.
p.s. I used a hand capper for mine.

Cheers, Mick.
