Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 One thing I know is that it has been said that the 16oz bottles are better able to withstand pressures building up, but that was with true Grolsch bottles. There are a lot of bottles out on the market these days with the bail tops, and I doubt they are engineered for pressurized contents. I have a few different ones in my house that I use for other things. --V > Hi everyone. I was at Ikea today and saw some bottles with the rubber >stopper and metal holder like the grolsch bottles.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Thanks , Do you think it would be all right if I bottled them and let them sit for a day or two and then refrigerate in the ikea bottles, maybe they wont explode.I'm going to also look for a suntea jar for the kids to use. Right now I just have the KT sitting in the container I brewed it in with a glass lid w/ rubber stopper. I just ladle out what I need.Thanks for all the wonderful info, nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in general a couple of days should be safe. You can also try letting off the pressure (opening the stoppers) each day just to make sure, until you get some confidence about it. --V ~~~ There is no way to peace; peace is the way ~~~~ --A.J.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi, I saw these bottles today. They looked kind of nice. I didn't get any, though. I found them too expensive and I'm not sure if I find them strong enough. How much do they weigh? Sander > > Hi everyone.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 As a precaution place your bottles in a large plastic tub and in a cool place (like the fridge). Ideal temperastures would be 40-55F (5- 11C) You could use a " test bottle " . Bottle a test bottle of the same size and ferment except in plastic. Allow the same air space. Kombucha IMO, should be filled to the top and not allow any air space (contrary to beer and wine) The plastic will allow for expansion and hardness that you can feel and better judge the pressure in the glass bottles.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 At the Associated (a supermarket) one block away from me, I can get a 4 pack of those Grolsch bottles for 8 dollars, not including tax. I consider this a bargain, as it already comes with a fully fermented and quite tasty grain drink. I'm sure you could find them cheaper outside of New York City too.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Thanks, I am right out of NYC so I know its cheaper and dont mind the beer. i was just at Ikea so I thought why not try the IkeA bottles. But all the talk about exploding bottles is making me real nervous. The bottles I picked up are 600gr. in weight and hold 32oz. I can always find another use for them if I dont use them for KT. My boys love the green tea earl grey mix 5-1 per gal.Thanks , nne > > At the Associated (a supermarket) one block away from me, I can get a > 4 pack of those Grolsch bottles for 8 dollars, not including tax.
