Interest in 375ml champagne bottles?

Rebel Brewer is issuing store credit for those that had preordered at the higher price. As far as I can tell you can cork in the crown finish bottles as well. There's plenty of a lip for your cage to tighten around. I just don't know if they glass is less thick or if the bottle mouth is sized differently.

The NB crown versions say that they are rated for highly carbonated beers. I had Rebel cancel my order, I went with 6 cases of the NB crown capped version. I should be using some middle of next week for a Golden strong w/brett L.

Coff, the ones from Rebel Brewer would have had zero issue with highly carbonated brews. That's one if the features of Belgian beers, which these are made for. Its also why you use corks and cages instead of caps. The cork and cage method can withstand very high pressures.

I'm still planning on getting my order placed before they come in. I still plan to get them from Rebel too.

Just got giggles and sparging, I checked the end cost for both vendors (NB and Rebel)... I'll get it at least one day sooner from Rebel (selected UPS ground shipping) at a lower cost. NB has shipping at $26.34 where Rebel has it at $19.70 (the year I was born too... hmmmmm)... That was for three cases of the bottles from either vendor. I can't see needing more than three cases of these for some time. I'll use them for some of my bigger brews, along with the 750ml Belgian bottles I have (to share a bottle with one or two people).

They're the same bottle, and same weight. One accepts a crown and one is cork only. One is not stronger than the other.

I understand that, but I was checking on the crowned versions of the same bottles. I had called NB to confirm that day.
