No, let me rephrase that. 650ml glass Jim Beam bottles and plastic crews caps and fn s**te for bottling cider.
Water tight? pmsl, not likely.
Nah, chuck the bastards out for recycling. If you want it in glass, use the
750 ml beer bottles and the metal tops secured with a proper bottle capper.Fkn screw top bottles and screw tops, as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Useless pile of s**te.
Just my observation
rob
Hey Rob mate... what r u on about?
Here , in UK, Jim Beam bourbon comes in glass bottles with screw cap. No plastic.
When finished, just recycle da bottles and buy fresh supply!
Ed
yes, exactly the same with these bottles. The shitey plastic screw caps don't properly seal the reused glass bottles. A load of bollocks for bottling cider. As much use as a fart in a space suit. Useless pile of s**te.
As said above, use the 750 ml beer bottles and the metal tops

Rob,
I thought Jim Beam was bourbon, not beer? They now selling beer in nz?

no Rob, you *need* to use non-screw bottles & a capper. screw top any kind of bottle can't be used for bottling cider or beer. can't you buy a case or two of bottles, a capper & a pound of caps? if not, you're kinda wasting your time trying to brew anything... lee
In France, sparkling cider is cork finished.
Big square Jim Beam bottles? Iggy Pop says they're unbreakable, judging by the ones thrown at him. Mortar them together and use them to make glass block walls, windows, etc.
bottling cider! not beer.
Jim Beam is bourbon, it is also crap. I much prefer scotch.
rob
As I have discovered. It is fortunate that I have several crates of proper bottles, not the shitey Jim Beam types, that will nicely hold 3/4 of a litre of nice tasty cider. I will nicely content with the recycle man throwing them in his truck on Monday, that'll teach the bastards to be piss poor cider recepticles. Not that I'm bitter or anything.
rob
by the way, I blame you Charlie, its all your fault!

Remember to eyeball and sniff the bottles for cleanliness. If there is any crud in them be sure to wash them out. If (or when) they are clean, soak in chlorinated water (you can smell the chlorine or 65ml/5 gal. bucket [re: 19L]) for twenty minutes (for any junkies out there, this works on needles too, 'cept to keep it simple, just soak in straight bleach for the twenty minutes, then rinse with sterile water [D.I. water]and the needle is sterile. I'm not advocating I just don't want anyone to get sick.). Rinse with clean tap water (remove any screens on faucets). Use bottles as soon as you like.
I use & reuse 750 wine bottles with screw caps & love them. Dav

we use an oxygen bleach. it's easier on the clothes/skin of the bottle washer. i dunno if it works on needles because i toss needles after one use. they cost about 18 cents each & i really really hate sticking an animal with a dull needle (and they're not so sharp the
2nd use. i used to work for a place that was so cheap they reused needles until they wouldn't go through the skin. you could *tell* it was hurting the animals!) we rinse with sanitizer & store upside down if not using immediately. lee
Oh hell, here we go again.......
By the way, do you have pear trees? Peary is very good stuff.......

Charlie wrote in news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com:
or peach trees? mobby is also yummy & almost no one makes it anymore. Jefferson was fond of peaches & mobby. lee
Whoa Nelly! That sounds really, really good. A quick google showed no recipe, but I am assuming one would proceed as with cider? Any particular yeast, or one that you would be satisfied with for cider?
Oops, just found one searching for peach "cider.......
Peach Cider
5 U.S. Gallons * 5 Gallons of Fresh Peach Juice * 3 Pounds of Alfalfa Honey * 3 Pounds of Light Brown Sugar * 1 Packet of Liquid Champagne YeastShould be really easy to press juice from peaches and should be lots of it.
Oh hell, now I'm wondering about apricots? That would be superb!! (go for it, rob, I hope it drives you nucking futz)
Thankee, thankee, thankee Charlie
Beam is worse than crap, IMO. I made a batch of baked beans several years ago that called for bourbon, so I cabbaged a ha'pint of Beam from a buddy who actually drank that s**te.
We all had one bite and chucked the rest in the trash.
So, how's the bottling going today, old trout? hehehehehe
Charlie
My younger son was driving thru the country awhile back and found over forty good used bottles with caps in the road ditch, all within a fifty yard stretch. All the same brand. Must be someone who takes about that far per bottle to get home from work on a regular basis.
He is using them for his cider and wine and, like you, loves them.
Charlie
Charlie wrote in news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com:
pretty much... the recipe you found looks about right.
yup.
apricots are a bit drier than peaches, but it should work. might want a lighter honey. are we being mean to rob?
no problem. it is my firm belief that mobby should be better known ;) lee
Gotcha.....entered in the notebook
I friggin' hope so... cheeky bastid needs a bit of slappin' about, doncha know...all the abuse I've suffered at his hands! You're likely to be getting blame slung your way now. (We know he really really wants to jump on this mobby thing, likely the peary also)
And I shall do my best to spread the taste, er, word, this fall!!
