Two questions for the pros.
1) My beer is in week #2 of fermenting, hiding behind a pile of stuff (my impromptu barricade) in the basement. My nephew (19 months) was sneaky and got past the barricade and ripped the air-lock out of the stopper for about 3-4 minutes before my brother-in-law caught him and replaced it. Is there any reason think the batch might be ruined?
2) Glass bottles are expensive if purchased empty, exactly $1/each bomber at the homebrew place by my house, but the local grocery store has 16oz aluminum bottles, full of beer, for $1. How well do these work for storing beer? Has anyone had issues with filling and capping them? Are they solid enough for reuse? I'd sure like to get some product with my money if at all possible.
Any input is always appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
