My brew partner (the other half of deadyeti) was working late the other day and stopped by walgreen's to get something to drink. He picked up a Jolt Energy Drink. We got to talking about brewing and he mentioned the can and how neat it would be to be able to use them. The can itself is fairly tall, around 20-22oz, aluminum, but the neatest part about the can is the cap. On the cap are 4 'tabs' the fit in line with the can, then you twist and tighten it down, then with one last twist it 'snaps' into place and forms a fairly good seal.
After thinking it over we decided "what the hell, let's experiment". We did a baking soda and vinegar test on it and it held pressure (no evident hissing while the cap was on), and decided we'd use it. Well it's been 7 days Wednesday, the can is obviously pressurized. I personally think it would be neat to be able to use these cans/ aluminum bottles to bottle in. Unfortunately the drink is about 2 dollars.
