Costco swing top French soda

[danng9]

Has anyone tried bottling their beer in this 1 liter swing top from Costco? $15 for 6 1 liter soda, I think it is better deal than buying empty swing top, and the soda is pretty yummy too.

If they work, only downside is that they are clear bottles

Could have been my sanitization but both times i've used these they have spoiled

Are those a CA local type of thing? haven't seen them in my costco, but I am interested.


Noodle, what do you mean by spoiled? Skunking seems like a definite possibility with them

 

[noodle23]

I don't know if they are regional. I don't know about skunked but it was a cider and the only way i can describe it is like when wine has too much SO2 in it so it smells like a fart and taste similar. If this is skunked then it thats what happen.

I've used similar lemonade bottles from Trader Joes with no problem.

You can find them in bay area Costco, I saw them in Mountain View and Sunnyvale stores.

If you had cider in it I don't think it was skunked, unless you made your cider with hops

Bottom line dude, if they are that cheap. Then buy six and give it a whack.

They look similar to the ones from ikea minus the soda.I use them all the time dont leave them in the sun for too long i had a blonde ale go skunky in about half an hour i thought it might have been the hole keg but it was 30min in the sun!

 

[FoxRunner]

Yea Im thinking about them for skeeter pee or Apfel...

I keg mostly, but I love swing top bottles for taking to parties - so convenient not to need caps.
