Are Groslch bottles still good for bottling me brew, wi they take the pressure from priming?
FYI Morrisons are doing 450ml bottles of grolsch with the flip-tops for a quid a go. its not the best beer on the planet but hand for brewing if they take the pressure

Re: BOttling
Grolsh bottles will be fine (unlike the swill that comes in them).
Best wishes

I agree, i use them and on my first brew i primed some with 1 tsp instead of 1/2 by mistake...
They opened with bang and frothed like champagne but the bottles were fine.

Re: BOttling
Green glass bottles aren't recommended as you are at risk of light strike. No problem though if you plan to store them in a fridge.
You've probably already seen this tip, but if you know a friendly pub landlord it seems reasonably easy to blag empty magners bottles which are perfect for bottling.

.....and they are a full pint rather than the usual 500ml
