A few weeks ago I ordered a few better bottles from Austin HBS and Ive just been pulling them out of the boxes as needed. So today while Im working on a hefeweizen the mood stuck to use my last 5 gal better bottle and start some cider. After I had put a gallon of water and 2lbs of corn sugar on the stove to boil I went and pulled the carboy out of the box to sanitize. Surprise! My plain 5 gallon better bottle is actually a ported better bottle!
The box and the stickers were all marked appropriately for plain, so it looks like this was just a mix-up at the factory. However Im kind of stuck as to what I should do. Right now Ive got a carboy with a hole in the side and no ideas as to how to fix it. The racking equipment for it is the same price as just getting another bottle and I havent heard too many good things about that set up.
Anyone have any ideas?
