I was kind of wondering the same thing about Pepsi bottles. I know I have heard its okay to use Pepsi 12 oz or 20 oz plastic to condition as long as you keep it out of the light. But yesterday I went shopping with SWMBO and we picked up a 1/2 liter bottle which I've never seen until now and thought that would be kinda cool to put 1/2 batch in. Anyone ever do this before?
people frown on it alot, but i can't imagine that there is anything wrong with doing it.
it's food grade plastic.
the one problem i would see is that when you open it you will lose about half your beer.
i've made ginger ale in them, and when the fermentation is done the bottle gets really hard from the pressure inside. I've never figured out how to open one without a mess. If that were my beer I would be really ticked.
