Hi,
I'm a noob and busy with my first home brew.
Due to Covid-19, many of my local shops are sold out and it will take a while before I can get the right bottles and/or a bottle capper etc but I should be fine when I do my 2nd batch in a few weeks time..
I want to bottle this weekend and I believe I can use soda bottles as they can handle carbonation at pressures much higher than beer.
I generally pour into a beer glass so wont be sipping directly from the bottle.
My question: (Preferably from someone who has bottled with a 2L soda bottle)
How much space should I leave in the gap between the cap and the top of the beer, 2 inches? (To prevent a bottle bomb)
Many thanks
