    Homemade Ceramic Bottles

    @Irish Red- I am basing it on the word of a roommates friend so yes it is taken with a grain of salt, however I do know that the individual would notice if it was as carbonated as he is a beer drinker. Also I know that the beer in other bottles, glass as well as the one jug, was quite bubbly and...

    Homemade Ceramic Bottles

    My guess is that there is some variation to how tight the lids are being held down because there are slight differences in how far down the holes are that hold the entire mechanism to the bottle. I can tweak the metal wire in order to get a tighter or looser fit and on the next batch I might...

    Homemade Ceramic Bottles

    Well I'm a little peeved, apparently one of my roommates friends opened my ceramic bottle from the fridge last night after I had gone to bed. So that is a little upsetting and I wasn't able to get any photos. Anyways I asked him if it was at least carbonated since it was a two month long...

    Homemade Ceramic Bottles

    I just returned from break and was eager to check my bottles. I gave two away over christmas so I only have two left with beer. The blue jug style had spots of sticky dried beer all over the side, so I figured it had either broken somewhere or had been leaking out of the top from not being tight...

    Homemade Ceramic Bottles

    @Mathin- The tops are Replacement EZ cap swing tops that I bought online. The holes were somewhat difficult, I used digital calipers to measure the dimensions on an existing glass swing top, I then recalculated the dimensions to account for shrinkage. The width of the neck isn't quite as...

    Homemade Ceramic Bottles

    @Revvy - I have not pressure tested them, I suppose this first bottling if they hold carbonation will be the test. I don't imagine them having a problem, however I don't have a lot of experience with brewing and carbonating. @Connoryis - That is essentially exactly what I did, for these I...

    Homemade Ceramic Bottles

    This is my first post but I have been reading the threads for a while and getting great information. I wanted to share these ceramic bottles I made and bottled a portion of my first batch of beer in them. Hopefully they work out and have a good enough seal to hold carbonation. Any thoughts or...
