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

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.

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
