Back about in 1981, I had a friend who worked at a deli/carryout and was able to get me 2 cases of 32oz Hudepol returnable bottles. After all these years I've only lost 3 bottles. They are 1 inch taller than a standard 12oz long neck with a 3.5 inch diameter at the base. The long neck has 2.25 inch diameter at the base (a short 12oz such as Sierra Nevada has a 2.5 inch diameter).
Beer bottled in these seems to condition much faster than in 12 or 22 oz bottles.
Is it just me or is there some reason why this happens? Maybe a larger diameter vs. bottle height gives more surface area for the settled yeast to work? If this is true does this mean that wide short bottles are better than tall skinny ones?
