Well I’m about 8 bottles short for bottling day. I’m considering using a few of my many empty 32oz mason jars with new lids screwed on tight. Just wondering, although not the best bottle ,will it work?
Nope. Designed to hold a vacuum, not pressure.
Try soda bottles instead. They are designed for higher pressure than beer bottles.
I know there is risk of cap pop off, but I have used 16 and 20oz plastic soda bottles to finish a batch.
On a couple of occasions, I’ve used a 16 oz. plastic vinegar bottle and that has thinner walls than the pop bottle. Before screwing the cap on, I squeeze all the excess air out and this gives me an idea of how the carbonation is coming along. Never had any issues with it.
I really appreciate the responses. I have decided to go with plastic bottles. Don’t know why I did not think of it myself.
