Killed my better bottle...it was so young

Thu Nov 12, 2009 6:37 am

I unwisely used a metal bottle blaster to try to clean a better bottle and totally gouged in the inside of the neck. I pretty much have to scrap this thing....right?

I only got one brew out of it!

Any good uses for a scrap better bottle?

I brew with R.O., and usually have 3 full 5 gallon water jugs on hand so that I have water whenever I need to brew. Any way you could seal it and use it to store some R.O. in?

Use it as a hopper for a grain mill.

If there aren't any holes in the plastic, why not brew up a sour beer with it?
