Beer bottles for taking cuts?

Even tho i have been saving every glass jar i can from the recycling we dont go through much jam, or buy any ready cook sauses, so ive not got a dozen yet, So im thinking could i use my empty beer bottles to collect my cuts in ?? But would the thin neck hamper the evaporation of the unwanted volatiles that should normally disappear overnight?

I usually collect and air in the 560Ml vinegar bottles that I buy vinegar in from Lidl and Aldi,though depending on the stage of the run,the bottle may be half-full or half-empty.
I worry not about the constriction of the neck,and leave them untill I object to the space that they occupy,sometimes a few days,sometimes a week.
Beer bottles I expect, would return similar results.
Does that help?

If you can manage a sunny window-cill,I would recommend that to hasten things along.

I use the vinegar bottles for collecting cuts, one of them cottonballs that the ladies take the war paint off with, plugs the neck for a couple of days, and i use the wilkos (OOPS) plastic toppped corks, makes for a nice short term storage, till i'm ready to blend.I actually put most of my ready to drink stuff back into them, It makes me think i'm drinking less ;) they are easier to store, they can be stored away at the back of a cupboard and easily forgot about, thats wishful thinking!

Cheers B_D

Mate,as you may have discovered,on this site,I am rogue and seemingly heathen.
I personally don't cover any bottles that are giving the angels a share,and if I spot a dead fly in there,come to tasting,to decide where it goes,I filter through a coffee paper or piece of K.Roll.
You have free will,follow your concience.
Don't think that I can say more.
