I bottled my third batch last night. It's an American Amber LME kit from my LHBS. It had been fermenting for 16 days and the SG had stabilized. My first two were lighter beers and they were fine with bottling them after two weeks. I tasted some of the AA out of the bottling bucket and it had a slightly sweet wort flavor to it still. I should have known that since it was a heavier beer, the clean up would take longer. I bottled most of it in 16oz pet bottles. the rest is in 12oz glass.
I figure there's a good possibility that I'll have bombs.
The thing I'm wondering is, will the pet bottles be able to withstand more pressure?
It seems like those things can handle a lot more than the glass bottles.
