I've just started a brew after several years away from the hobby. Been doing a bit of research here and elsewhere but I have a couple of questions:
1. I'm planning to bottle my beer but one of the books I consulted recommended transferring the beer to keg post fermentation until clear and then bottling. I'm wondering whether other forum members do this or do you bottle direct from the FV?
2. In the dim and distant past I recall being advised not to use non-returnable glass bottles for home-brew since they wouldn't be strong enough to withstand the pressure of secondary fermentation. Does anyone have experience/advise on this subject.
Any input much appreciated.
Cheers
Andy
