the necks are the same as a culligan bottle. they are made for using in a water cooler.
I have about 9 of them. I have a cooler at my office and go through about 2 a month. It was a pain with the other brand in the 5 gallon containers water was about the same price but 5$ deposit on each.
I have been crushing them after a couple brews and putting them in recycle.
Why pitch them? Do they get grundgy, or is it the fact that you get a lot of them?
I've seen these, but never thought to check the type of plastic. While I won't ferment beer in them, other uses occur to me, like the one shown in the video, and I can use one to cut down as a hopper for my grain mill. The 4 gal. of water (I have to use store bought water to brew) that comes with them makes the price more like $3.50, which is pretty attractive.
I don't have the room for them and they are thin so they do tend to start cracking at the neck and base so I recycle them.
