| Custom designed bottles for recycling | | 2008-04-21 22:04:00 | | It has never been a secret that hawkers recycle used mineral water bottles, fill it with tap water (ok, a believed to be fit for drinking water, with no visible impurities) and sell it back to thirty passengers who neither have patience to check the purity of the water, nor have an alternate option to quench their thirst. What surprised me, that some manufacturers of mineral water bottles, knowingly or unknowingly are directly assisting this “sell new water in old bottle” lobby, due a faulty design of bottle caps. Ideally, a cap of a sealed mineral water bottle will have two parts- the main cap and a circular ring which is factory sealed with the main cap. (I don’t know exact technical term-assume description given gives an idea what I am referring to) When you buy a new original mineral water bottle and twist open its cap, the seal breaks, the cap comes out and circular ring remains in the bottle neck. Since ordinary hawker can’t reseal the bottle easily (without necessary e... | | By: eNidhi - A professional amateur | | |
| | Coming Soon: Ninkasi Bottles! | | 2008-02-26 17:48:00 | | I just received confirmation from our sales guy that Ninkasi bottles will be available for delivery on Tuesday. The starting lineup will be their Total Domination IPA, Believer Red Ale, and Tricerahops Double IPA. We've been getting requests for these beer ssince shorty after they opened, and it'll be nice to offer them in something other than a 15.5 gallon keg.In other Ninkasi news, we're hosting Jamie Floyd (and maybe his partner Nikos Ridge) for a bottle release and "Meet the Brewer" event in our BierCafe on Monday, March 10, from 6 - 9 pm. We usually offer some sort of sale on bottles featured in the tastings, so if you haven't sampled them yet I'd encourage you to stop by, ask Jamie some questions, sample the beers, and then take some home for later.Mmm...Tricerahops...... | | By: Belmont Station Beer Forum | | |
| | | Yeast Culturing From Bottles | | 2007-11-08 07:00:00 | | Have you ever thought of cloning your favorite beer's yeast? Personally, I have never given it a thought but I had a reader ask me I knew how to culture yeast from a bottle. I found this article from Brew Your Own and it explains it better than I could. Enjoy.Yeast Culturing from Bottles: Techniques Sep, 2005 by Chris Colby Not every yeast strain is available at your local homebrew shop. For some, you need to hit the bottle. Everything you need to know about how to round-up yeast from a bottle-conditioned beer. A wide variety of brewers yeasts are available to homebrewers these days. But sometimes the particular strain you want isn’t commercially available. However, it might be possible to culture it from a bottle-conditioned beer.Most commercial beers are filtered, and some are flash pasteurized, before bottling and do not contain yeast. However, some brewers bottle-condition some of their beers. Often, the brewer will advertise this fact on the label of those products. If not, the tell-tale layer of sediment on the bottom of the bottle indicates a bottle conditioned beer.Keep in mind, however, that some brewers use a different strain of yeast for bottle conditioning than they do for primary fermentation. The yeast on the bottom of most Bavarian hefeweizens, for example, is a standard lager strain. Franziskaner, for example, is bottled with a bottling strain, not a hefeweizen strain. One exception to this rule is Schneider Weisse, which evidence suggests is bottled with its fermentation strain. British bottle-conditioned beers, more often than not, are conditioned with their fermentation strain. To give one example, Fuller’s 1845 reputedly is conditioned with its fermentation strain.

| | Genies in the bottles | | 2007-09-08 15:49:21 | | The bottles fall from the tables,
and then the genies are set free.
Expectations and desires seem real,
but don’t believe what you see.
Diminutive forces of good and right
battle powers of collective evil and
Quickly, the day becomes night.
Memories made minutes before
are erased instantly. Suddenly
solid surfaces shift beneath my feet
and sidewalks become rooftops.
I fall through a window for safety.

And then everything went plastic, that cheap bubble -y plastic, not the sleek plastic everything is now, the faux glass. You pay extra for plastic that looks like glass. Sprite has always been good at that. A Sprite bottle looks like a sprite bottle. It's the dimples.it doesn't matter how glassy the plastic is formed to, you can drop it from the counter and it still isn't going to shatter. You aren't going to break it. You also don't see as much broken glass around either. Pretty much the only thing that still comes in glass are beer bottles and the odd condiment. I remember when just about the only plastic you would have around the house was your shampoo bottles. There isn't as much sea glass anymore either. There used to be a lot of people who did thing's things, with sea glass. I wonder if they had to start making there own. Perhaps there are even sea glass ... | | By: Reading In The Dark | | |

| | Poisoned Baby Bottles! - Bisphenol A - Time to switch from plastic back to glass? | | 2007-03-09 23:45:00 | | Hey folks,By now you have likely seen some of the national attention our recent report about Bisphenol A (BPA), an ingredient used in plastic bottles and in the lining of food cans, has generated. BPA has been shown to be toxic in low doses, and has been linked to breast and prostate cancer, diabetes and infertility. Pregnant women and infants are most at-risk, and yet there are currently no safety standards established.After a recent report by Environment California and a blog post by Julie Deardorff, the top manufacturers of glass baby bottles have had their supply completely depleted.So, we here at EWG have come up with a plan to make several more glass bottles available, and hopefully raise a few bucks to put toward our continued research and advocacy to keep kids safe from toxic chemicals.Currently listed on Ebay, here, here, here, and here, are gently used, 4-oz glass breastmilk collection and storage bottles made by Lansinoh. They were used by an EWG staffer, who realizes the im... | | By: Pirate Papa | | |
