Subject: P.E.T. Bottles and rate of Oxidation


If i were to use PET bottles how long before a noticable difference in
oxidation of the brew..Would a one month storage be fine, My thinking
was using PET bottles for Pale ales (enjoyed by all and quickly
consumed) and regular bottles for my stouts porters bareywines (Savored
by me and slowly consumed) etc.


Is Sanitation for P.E.T. Bottles easy as using a bottle washer and an
idoraphor 2 min soak?

I say ~one month~ is great and 6 to 8 weeks is my max. Plus I toss
them after one use. (Remember they had soda in them before.)

You have the sanitation correct.
