The green glass isn't ideal, plus the tops are not conducive to capping, at least not the 12oz bottles.

I wouldn't use green bottles regardless of size.

If you keep the green bottles in boxes, out of the light you are fine. I have some green bottles floating around, but prefer brown. The cap issue mentioned above though might be troublesome if it happens with the 16 oz. What I would do is just check beforehand if your capper works ok with the bigger bottles. At any rate bigger bottles are really nice imo.

Got a couple of grolsh green bottles but I keep em out of the direct light. Just cause they were in the rubbermaid when I was washing and didn't feel like throwing em out.

Green bottles are a pain in the arse. Stick to brown ones.

They are fine just keep them out of the light. My bench capper handles these just fine. I have several of the 22oz and work fine.

non-brown bottles can let UV rays through, skunking the beer.

I use to have trouble capping them with an emily capper (the red one), even broke a few. But now that I have a bench capper I can cap anything.
