0.25 Beer bottles

Postby Leatherman » Fri Feb 17, 2017 7:49 pm

Hello everyone,
So I just made first T500 run and wanted to ask for experts. I have a lot of 0.25 green glass beer bottles "Saint Omer" I think it is called and I thought maybe I can store my spirits in these bottles and cap them? What would be experts opinion, would that influence taste, purity or anything else?
Looked for similar topic in forum but could not find anything,
Many thanks for answers and many apologies if the question is stupid, I am just a very much beginner. :)
And many thanks for an answers

I'd be wary of the plasticiser in the lid seal, assuming you mean crown seals (caps) that is.
I seldom take myself seriously....

If they are screw cap they may be good, but poke around inside the cap to check for plastic, which is bad.

I use taper corks in beer bottles. Get the natural ones. Try ebay.

Dirty cheap and reusable. 8)
