What is Reddit's opinion of Chef's Star 6 Pack Glass Bottles Airtight Caps and Leak Proof Lids with Flip Top Stoppers for Fermentation, Limoncello, Kombucha, Brewing Beer (Clear)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Okay it's been much longer than anticipated, but I have answers! I got these bottles from Amazon. The first time, they shipped to my home via UPS and arrived completely shattered. I shipped them to my workplace the second time because stuff normally comes there from USPS and they arrived in perfect condition! I had much better carbonation with swing tops.

When I first started making kombucha I would pour from the bottle to strain into another vessel, then pour the strained kombucha back into the bottle to drink the whole thing on the go. Now that I know you shouldn't drink an entire bottle at a time, I just strain a bit into a glass right before drinking. Much less spillage.

As suggested I did about 2 oz of flavoring per bottle- 0.5 oz mashed blackberry and 1.5 oz Welch's Passionfruit juice blend. It was a little too sweet but still delicious!

I bought these from Amazon. They are thick enough and seal perfectly, but I will say the neck sizes are somewhat inconsistent. I have trouble fitting the funnel in some of them. Otherwise, they are great.

I intend to buy some flip-top bottles to achieve more consistent fizz on 2F (been using cheap juice bottles), but all of the bottles I find are too tall for my fridge compartments, making them impossible to store upright. (intent do buy these ones)
Is there any problem with doing the 2F with the bottles upright, and then storing the bottles laying down on the fridge? I mostly use whole fruit (pieces), if that matters.

Any flip top on Amazon that says it's for fermentation or home brewing should be the right one. For example this would work but there's tons of them.

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely try soda bottles. I've also seen easy cap bottles: https://www.amazon.com/Chefs-Star-CASE-Bottles-CLEAR/dp/B011SGS8U8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1523023099&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=easy+cap+beer+bottles&psc=1

I'd like to try these in the future, if these work how I think they're supposed to, it would save me the cost/hassle/space of keeping caps and a capper. Do you know of any downsides to this kind of bottle?

Recipes on the internet! It's basically whiskey and heavy cream. It's not terribly hard to make aside from making sure the cream doesn't curdle and isn't time consuming at all. Just Google "bailey's recipe" and you'll get a ton of versions, all pretty similar. No suggestions on which one as I haven't made it in years, but I just picked one at random from Google. Just don't listen to the ones that say you need eggs, it's unnecessary (and gross) IMO.

Too little too late, but you can make huge batches, get inexpensive but nice looking glass bottles off Amazon, and gift them for a cheap and easy but crowd pleasing present.

I bought these and they've worked out well so far. I've only used the for 3 batches. No explosions and my strawberry second ferment was on the verge of being too carbonated.

Thanks for your detailed reply! By the way, what do you consider a "carbonation safe bottle"? My first inclination was to use the flip-top style that I use for beer like these. Would these be appropriate for carbonating and storing for a month or two?

I got them from Amazon. Here’s the link.

These have worked great for me

For the 2F I am using the glass swing top bottles that I've purchased from amazon.
