Hi all,
I have the homebrew soda extract from my LHBS and I'm interested in putting together a small batch of soda to test out the process. I have a couple of questions, though.
I don't have any plastic soda bottles around the house at the moment. My LHBS told me that using glass beer bottles won't be a problem, but I wanted to check here for the hive mind's reaction to that. Can I use glass beer bottles and standard capping methods to bottle soda? Am I being crazy here and should I just order some PET bottles? My LHBS doesn't carry any PET.
Can I use my bottling bucket and wand to bottle these sodas? My concern is that the soda will impart a flavor to the bucket, tubing and wand. This is a cola extract, not root beer, if that makes a difference.
Oh. And I looked around using The Google for a while for these answers and couldn't find anything that specifically answered these questions, which is why I'm asking here.
Thanks for your help!
