I am shopping better bottles as we speak. Also going to buy a brew hauler. Looking for overkill at this point.

After about 4 hours, I finally decided my stove couldn't get the wort past 194F.

Um, you do know that BB's are only rated to 140' don't you?

This is really the only potential drawback that I have found to using them but this would be with respect to cleaning them with very hot water, not placing boiling wort in them. Montanaandy
