Your beer will be a carbonated beverage which will exert pressure on the bottle you store it in. You will need to make sure that you use bottles that were designed to package carbonated beverages. These include beer bottles, champagne bottles, carbonated soft drink bottles, carbonated juice bottles or any other bottles that were used to store fizzy drinks. It is dangerous to use bottles that were not properly designed for carbonated beverages because of the high risk of explosion.

Wine has been traditionally stored in corked bottles. The necks of these bottles are molded so they can be sealed tightly with corks. In reality you can use just about any bottle to store wine as long as you can seal it tightly. It can be argued that screw cap bottles are better for storing wine because you can get an air-tight seal and there is no chance of picking up off-flavours from the corks. If you do use screw cap bottles make sure you use the proper caps.

No! Beer must be bottled in glass designed to hold the pressure, which are beer bottles, soda bottles, or champagne bottles. Using wine bottles or mason jars is an invitation to disaster, as they will explode as the carbonation builds after sealing. 6.13 Do your blue bottles protect beer from light as well as your amber bottles? No, the blue glass is for looks, and does not protect beer from light quite as well as amber bottles, but does protect as well as a dark green bottle.

Plastic PET (Pepsi, Coke, etc.) bottles are excellent for storing you beer. They have been designed to withstand pressure and have the convenience of being light-weight and easy to handle. You also use plastic screw-on caps with PET bottles so you will not need to use a capping machine. Some people find a slight difference in taste from beer packaged in plastic bottles compared to the same beer packaged in glass bottles.

Use dilute Brewer's Edge Cleanser (William's product #A25), using 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. Use eye protection and gloves for safety when mixing Brewer's Edge Cleanser. Soak the bottles for 24 hours or longer, until the labels start to lift off the glass. Some labels, particularly waterproof foil labels, are very hard to remove, but many commercial labels will just lift off the glass. Rinse thoroughly when done.

When you bottle beer, you add a small quantity of sugar to create a secondary fermentation. This creates a small pressure in the bottle and gives a fizz to the beer. If too much sugar is added, too much pressue will be created and the bottles may burst. In other words, "Always follow the instructions".

Unless you plan to use the chilled (and I presume unopened) bottles in the next week or two, I would strongly suggest that you remove them from the refrigerator and store them in a cellar or at cool room temperature. Refrigerator conditions are too cold and too dry for long term storage of wine. Warming them up won't hurt them.

Nine to twelve days after adding the yeast, the beer will probably be finished fermenting and ready to bottle. Before bottling or kegging, it is necessary to take 2 hydrometer readings in 4 days to make sure the final gravity has been reached. Put a sanitized hydrometer into your beer and spin it to dislodge any bubbles that may distort the reading. The reading is taken at the point where the stem emerges from the beer. Take the first reading and record it.

The white layer is yeast, and is present in all home brewed beer that has been naturally carbonated by the action of the yeast eating priming sugar. Although it will not hurt you, and is full of vitamin B, it does taste yeasty. Decant the beer off the yeast sediment into a glass to avoid picking up the yeast sediment.

The color aids in protecting the remedy. Some say brown bottles are best but we use blue as do some others. Back to Top | Back to FAQ

Beer is made from extracting sugar from the starch in malted grain. This is boiled with sufficient water & hops to make a "wort." When this has cooled, brewing yeast is added to ferment the wort to create this finished product, which is suitable for bottling or kegging, and maturation. Some people mash their own grain, while others buy canned malt extract.

Utah has a keg beer law, that prohibits anyone other than a licensed beer retailer from possessing beer (3.2%) in containers larger than two liters. Thus, if you want to serve beer on draft, you will have to obtain a temporary beer permit from the local government entity where you plan to sell and serve the beer. Once you obtain the permit, you may purchase beer in kegs from a local Utah beer wholesaler.

Glass is easier to sterilize, re-use, and recycle. Glass doesn't breathe like plastic which can impart off-odors. Glass is also more attractive and lets you visually judge the wine's clarity.

For every 10 members of staff in your office you can expect to use 8 X 19litre bottles of water per month. This figure is based on our extensive experience within the industry and will fluctuate depending on the weather conditions, staff attitudes to health and office air conditioning.

Someone came in with a bottle of Kahlua with a "security" device attached to the top of the bottle. It is supposed to set off an alarm when it's removed from the grocery store. Check-out clerks remove this for customers when they're paying for their purchase. A woman asked if we wouldn't mind swapping her bottle for one of ours! We probably should have called the cops, but we so stunned by this request, we did not quite know what to do apart from saying "no."

With proper use and storage of the product in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations printed on the label and in the Package Insert, customers can expect acceptable product potency following routine opening and closing of the container up to the expiration date as shown on the NitroQuick® Tablet bottle. NitroQuick® should be discarded if it was improperly stored, or if the expiration date on the package has been exceeded.

Our Gaviscon® Liquid is designed with a peel back label. In the lower right hand corner of the back label, there is a "peel here" tab that you will need to pull in order to view the interior of the label. Directions appear on the interior label.

Choosing a bottle for baby can often times be as confusing as choosing a stroller. What kind of bottle should I use? Which nipple is right for my baby? And what the heck is the bottle flow rate? But more times than not, no matter how much research you have done into the best bottle types and brands, the final choice is baby's. Some babies will only take one type of nipple, some bottles may cause gas, and some babies can only handle one flow rate.

No. Overwintering will cover up to 50sq meters, so mixing half of the bottle with 2ltrs of water and then applying using a spray will not only ensure a more even coverage, but make the product go further. You can always mix more.
