Heavy bottles?

i am brewing an orval clone it is currently in the secondary. the recipe is highly carbonated and uses brett yeast. it also calls for heavy bottles my home brew store suggested champagne bottles but they only come in green and look tacky. i would really like a stylish bottle but do not want them exploding in my families kitchens any suggestions.

i was looking at this

750 ml Belgian-style Beer Bottles

Item No: 40208 750 ml Belgian-style Beer Bottles

do you think these will work.

Those would be "heavy bottles", and require a cork.

From my experience, bench cappers dont cork well. You really need a corker or floor capper.

i can rent a corker from my local store, but i will need to order the bottles online. just gotta figure how i wanna doctor the bottles up now.

These hold pressure, but if you are looking for highly carbonated, like 4vols, I wouldn't chance it. I would use Champagne glass for highly carbonated bottle conditioned beer.

would be using 1.2 cups of corn sugar for bottling after 3 months of conditioning

I hate to sound like a prick, but how about bottling in orval bottles?

I'm sure given time, you could accumilate enough for a 5 gal batch, heck, I'll send you a few if I can find tem, I know I have 8 or 10 in the stash.

I am planning to try the "champagne" bottles that the Boulevard Smokestack series comes in for the 10-10-10 BGSA. Amber glass, and they appear to take a 29mm crown. I've only accumulated 3 so far (4 if you include the bottle of 6th glass quad in the fridge now).

just found Wine and Hops - Amber Wine Bottles, there is a amber champage bottle on that site.

well that just solves all my problems now doesn't it . been serching the web for 3 weeks on and off looking for a brown type champagne bottle.

hopfully i can order them atm there is an error and it won't let me.

This place Wine Bottles lists them, but says to call about availability. Beware, their website is not friendly to firefox.
