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.

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Well, the Ball, Kerr or Atlas jars tend to be fairly common. However, some jars can be worth more depending on the actual embossing. (Especially dealing with Ball jars.) Jars with unusually bright colors are worth more. These were generally made at the end of a run and contain sediments and chemicals that color the glass. Amber colored jars tend to be worth more than clear or aqua jars, but this is not a hard and fast rule either. See similar questions...

Glass bottles or jars used for food or drink can be placed in small quantities in your crate at kerbside for recycling. Larger domestic quantities can be taken to an EcoDepot for recycling. You are able to drop-off items at the recycling drop-off areas during normal EcoDepot hours at no charge. Certain organisations collect jam jars for reuse. If you have 30 or more jars you can call the TerraNova Waste Exchange facilitator (336 0080) to arrange for collection. See similar questions...

This question is similar to the one above — a calculator is necessary. One ton of grapes (2,000 pounds) yields approximately 165 gallons (624.5 Liters) of wine. 2,000 lbs/624.5 Liters = x lbs/0.750 liters x=2.40 pounds per bottle. 2.40 pounds is about nine clusters of grapes, and nine clusters is about 500 individual grapes. The question I have heard most often is . . . “Do you stomp the grapes with your feet?” This is usually followed by . . . “Like Lucy?” See similar questions...

This one always stumps me without a calculator. A standard Burgundian barrel can hold 228 Liters of wine (60.24 gallons), and a bottle holds 0.750 Liters of wine at 20 degrees Celsius, so 228 Liters divided by 0.750 Liters is 304 bottles (25 1/3 cases). A Bordelaise barrel, on the other hand, holds 225 liters of wine (59.45 gallons), so 225 Liters divided by 0.750 Liters is 300 bottles (25 cases). See similar questions...

No. More then one average size serving is abuse. Switching types of alcohol to control drinking is an example of denial, a common pattern of rationalization among alcohol dependent individuals. See similar questions...

Glass home canning jars, sometimes referred to as Mason jars, are designed for durability and reuse. They are the only jars recommended for safe home canning. Constructed of heat-tempered glass, they are able to withstand the superheated steam of the pressure canner, time after time. These special jars feature a deep neck and wide sealing surface that is essential for obtaining a tight seal. They are available in standard sizes to ensure proper processing times as specified in recipes. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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". See similar questions...

The combination of ingredients used to make glassware is different from what goes into container glass for bottles and jars. If these two types of glass are recycled together, the resulting glass will not be suitable for container glass. In fact, glassware, ceramics, window panes, or mirrors can pose a threat to equipment in a glass recycling plant. Compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and tubes come in various shapes and sizes.

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

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. See similar questions...

Yes, a maximum of 3 bottles (or 1 x beer 6pack) per person. You must request a receipt of your desired bottle at the stand. Payment for purchases can be made directly to the stand or to the Liquor Distribution Centre. All liquor is distributed from the Liquor Distribution Centre. All liquor must be picked up at the Liquor Distribution Centre upon exit only. Please retain your receipt to show security upon exit. See similar questions...

There are a number of reasons for this. The most common are 1) The fermentation had not completed. The wine was bottled too early, 2) The wine was stored in too warm a place. See similar questions...

No. One 12-ounce beer has about the same amount of alcohol as one 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5-ounce shot of liquor. It is the amount of ethanol consumed that affects a person most, not the type of alcoholic drink. See similar questions...
