I bought a 4-pack of La Chouffe (sp?) blond beer recently and now I want to brew something like it. The problem is, it's carbonated to at least 3 volumes, maybe 3.5, and beer bottles aren't strong enough. But I have 2 cases of 20-something year old returnable bottles under the basement stairs. Are those stronger than new bottles?
I have champagne bottles, but no way to cap them. What I'll probably do is put most of the beer in PET plastic bottles plus reuse those thick LaChouffe bottles, but I wonder if those old longnecks would be safe to use?
