Bottling with plastic PET bottles

[MorganNJ]

Thanks, @deeferdog. I wish this site would notify me when I get replies. I don't have time to monitor.
So, I refrigerated tonight (bottled 3 weeks ago this Sunday), but couldn't resist opening one of the 1 liter PET bottles from my first batch. I'm extremely happy with the result. Color, clarity and carbonation are great and it has a young, nutty taste. I'll definitely follow your advice and let the rest sit another week and ice them before opening.
For the curious, I bottled six 1 liter PET bottles and one 2 liter glass growler. I had no issues and, as I said, the results have been great.
Best,
Morgan

I picked up two big plastic bags of one and two liter plastic bottlesn from my local recycler, the guy even went into the dumpster for me. In the dark ages (early 90's), we went from glass to plastic bottles, these were the old ones. They worked great back then and can't wait to bottle with the new PET material now.

Sir I am about to do the same thing and bottle my beer in 2ltr plastic also. However from my past experience with wine making I intend to store the bottles upside down while carbonation is taking place in the bottle. This means the lees from the yeast will settle in the cap, while still upside down crack open the top and the lees or yeast deposit gets blown out of the bottle by the pressure within through the safety pressure release slots moulded into the thread of the bottle while keeping the cap attached. Thus leaving a sparing clear beer to the last drop.
