KiltLifter said:Look on the bottom of the bottle you are considering. The Better Bottles are PET. Water bottles from one company around here are PET and that's what I use. I looked at one (with a molded in handle) at Home Depot and it was NOT PET, so be sure to look.
PET IS oxygen permeable, but the Better Bottle and other PET water bottles are thick enough that the permeation is negligible for the amount of time the beer is in it.
For a mead or barley wine that is in the carboy for months, I use glass, just in case.
durak said:How so? They hold the water for extended periods of time, why wouldn' they hold fermenting beer?
padair said:Back on topic - I just checked and Beertech have the 23 litre Better Bottle in stock, though they're £11.99 - shipping will depend on how many you order, but it's £9.00 to ship one and £36 to ship 2
They only have 2 in stock so if you are thinking of buying them, place 2 seperate orders.
According to xe.com £1.00 = 9.85DKK = US$1.94
