canning jars for bottling?

timm · Oct 26, 2006

Just a quick question. My parents used to do alot of canning (jams and other things) so I have a box of over 100 canning jars with lids/seals. My question is can I use these instead of bottles?

Thanks

NO!!!! They can not take the pressure. they are designed for a slight vaccum.

You can, however, use them to collect yeast

They are also good for storing specialty grains.
