Michelob Bottles

[tcory77]

Has anyone used these? They are pry off bottles, so they should work, but I have not heard of anyone using them. I wasn't sure if the glass is thinner than most bottle like sam adams and SN.

Anyone?

I believe I have used a few of them that I raided from the neighbors recycle bin without problems.

Yeah, I was into their Dunkelweiss for a little while, and saved up a pile of the bottles. They work fine, and the labels soak off pretty easy.

Still new here only 4 batch under my belt,
But those are what I use for all of my bottles.

They are actually my favorite to bottle in because the labels literally fall off when you put the bottle in warm water for a few minutes.

Awesome, thanks guys!!!!

Wouldn't use them more than once. They are thinner and weaker and not designed for reuse. I've had some blow on me or break on prying the crown and some not seat correctly since they are twist offs. No longer worth risking my homebrew in.

The reason I was asking is that the new michelob bottles are pry off.....at least the ones around here are. I have stayed away from twist offs. Thanks for the input though. I was worried themy might be a little thinner than normal pry offs.

No pry off bottle is "designed" for re-use, except the old long neck bar bottles. I've used dozens of different makes and models of pry off bottles and have a failure rate of about 1:300 maybe.

Well there's your problem. You're using the wrong ones.

Thanks, I've used both. Mich & Bud bottles not worth it to me.

Michelob Amber Bock bottles have worked really well for me FWIW.
