    Hey guys quick question might be dumb. I came across a bunch of stubby la chouffe bottles and I am planning on bottling a hefe in them. Think this will cause any problems? I know hefes are usually in tall bottles with long necks. Might just be paranoid.

    Your question is about carbonation and safety, correct? Any beer bottle should be able to handle a Heffe's carbonation. The next step up is a champagne or sparkling wine bottle.

    No it was more of a thinking too much into it question. The bottles are sound but not sure if the bottles facilitated the style of beer. Like the wide bottom is too spaced out for the yeast to settle/cake together. I'm probably just thinking too much into it. Thanks for responding

    A bottle is a bottle IMO. They should work great for your hefe.
