Where can I find: colorless 12oz bottles, and heat-proof crimp caps?

[agrazela]

I'm looking for a supplier of:

Colorless 12oz glass bottles, crimp-cap style (not twist)
Crimp caps with liners that can take retort (121°C / 250°F) temperatures

(Don't worry, this is not for beer! It's for something I'm trying at work.)

Post a Freecycle "wanting" ad for empty Newcastle beer bottles. Maybe regular crown caps can take that kind of heat? Or use these: https://www.williamsbrewing.com/100-CORK-LINED-BOTTLE-CAPS-P3286.aspx

You're in San Diego, so Jarritos soda should be pretty prevalent I'd wager. Like a 24 pack at your local Sam's Club. Any other Mexican soda would work, too, but the coke and pepsi bottles are screen printed. Same as Corona bottles, but those are a bit thinner. If you're retorting, stick with as thick as you can find.

Soak Corona bottles in star san and you can get the printed labels off.
