I know your not a fan of green bottles, but you seriously gotta look into getting fliptops regardless of what color the glass is.

When bottling, it's so much easier than needing 2 people to fill/cap. I did the entire bottling myself and was able to use 1 hand to fill and the other to seal up the fliptops. I'm not much of a multitasker, but this made me proud.

That is ofc unless you like to feel the power of bending metal under your hands while capping normal bottles

They make them in brown ofc but when I still have 5.5 cases of bottles empty and m8s giving me more nn spending money

Also have 5 cases of beer bottled

lol the other thing is if i lose a normal bottle when I take it somewhere else it doesnt really bother me.

Here is the problem with buying the fliptops...
My homebrew store sells them for $1.70 a piece. I just purchased a case of grolsch for 3 less than buying the bottles empty

I am jealous you got all those extra bottles, I have the exact opposite problem and been asking m8's to purchase nonscrew offs

Valid point... Just for shits I might shell out the money for 2 cases of nongreen bottles and do a little controlled experiment.

My homebrew store has green, brown, clear and dark blue. I'd love to know if the dark blue is better at blocking light than brown?

yea i got 180 of them for 10$ about a month ago so that got me started fairly well

No idea, but you may want a style where skunking is the goal

Imeant those are the swingtops available to me, but I'd much rather get them with beer alreadyin them but that doesn't seem possible since grolsch seems to be the only one imported around here

Eh
Im gonna brew another batch of something different tomorrow. It's something that isn't really my style but I'm making it as wedding favors for the dudes in my wedding that love cream ale.

Just gonna point out that I am still waiting

sir, just please try and stay calm
