I have a few questions for issues i am working on with my ginger beer. First of all, i make my ginger beer using the ginger bug and sugar to carbonate.

Cans
Has anyone tried cans? Can you carbonate and then pasteurize the cans or are they more likely to explode than bottles?

Glass Bottles
How many of you use glass bottles with a plastic bottle each batch to test carbonation? Once the bottles are carbonated can i use a dishwasher to pasteurize the glass bottles?

Pasteurizing
Has anyone testing pasteurizing PET bottles? I have seem lots of talk of people saying the bottles warp and get weak in hot water, when empty. But no comments of this being tested when the bottles are full of soda and under pressure.

Thanks
