Do i need special bottles for a saison?

[WhiteDog87]

I was thinking of brewing a saison or belgian golden strong ale, but both call for 3-4 volumes of carbonation. Do i need special bottles to handle the extra pressure? Or can an average beer bottle handle that sort of pressure?

I would think you would be fine with normal brown beer bottles.

Hi

That's a pretty typical carb level for a saison. I've never noticed anything odd about the commercial bottles they sell them in. They seem to use a perfectly normal bottle.

Commercial saisons carbed to the 4 volume range come in champagne-style bottles (and American versions are almost always undercarbed) . As long as you stick to 3 volumes you're good to use regular bottles.
