That being said, I don't even buy, I just re-use some old bottle that I found around. Used to like Grolsch, now that I'm into hops...well, you know how it happens :)
Still, my plan is to ...steal..hmm..from friends, foes and restaurants empty Grolsch bottles so I can have enough for a 12 litres batch [ about 20 :D ].
The real questionis how much internal pressure they can handle. Those fermenting 3 are creating a SHITTON of CO2 that is building up inside and who knows...might go boom. Never heard of anyone getting killed by an exploding Grolsch bottle but certainly don't want to be first :D
:D
It;'s kind of a tradition in the kombucha community that people are crazy about these grolsch...grolsch-type of bottles.
But here's something interesting about it. You can buy grolsch bottle on amazon for pretty steep prices imho. Like 2$ for a bottle. Is it me or this is insane?

I have heard of plenty of fermentation explosions right enough from alcohol home brewers!! Here hoping you avoid an extinction event!!!
beer home brewers are the heroes we don't deserve
