Sorry if this has been answered somewhere.
I've got some scavenged bottles, but they are all twist tops.
I'd rather get a fizzer than a glass "bottle bomb".
Looking at the brew shops,
PET bottles are easy to get. Will they will take the pressures involved?
Alternatively I can get Grolsch bottles with the swing top caps. I have read that these leak at 70psi while other sources say they won't leak until pressure is greater than 150psi. Are these suitable, better than PET?
Or should I go to the extra effort to get crown seal bottles?
thanks for any advise.
