large pet bottles with 28mm PCO 1881opening

[fluketamer]

hi guys

are you able to get these in the UK or shipped online?

the 4 l oxebar keg is really cool looking compact , extremely versatile and low cost but has never really been made available at least not here in the united states.

these readily available tee pieces fit two liter pop bottles with standard 1881 threads.

i recenly found these kvas bottles that are 2.5 and 3.5 liters and very cost effective as compared to say the vevor minikegs.

however they only seem to be available at very limited brick and mortar stores in ny/ nj area. they are made in eastern europe i think and are great additions to the kegging setup

do you guys have anything like these large pet bottles with 1881 threads available. if so do you have any experience carbing and serving out of them? they are great entry or addition to kegging.

thanks for any replies.

When I was in Serbia years ago the local beer came in similar 3 and 4 litre bottles - never seen similar here sadly

Years ago I remember cider coming in 3 litre pet bottles, they seem to be unavailable now.

You can buy 8 litre ones from kegland but the postage is crazy - hoping someone can do a big import to get the prices down.

BrewKegTap sell them: 8L Oxebar PET Keg

Personally I want the 4L ones as these would be perfect to take up the difference between a 23L kit and a 19L corny.

sorry for the late reply. hey crowcrow , the problem with the oxebar is the caps dont fit standard soda bottles. the bottles i am able to get is 2.5 and 3.5 liters perfect for my needs. the tee piece and carb caps i am finding have unlimited uses.
i really love my new kegging system for its size portability and ease of use. . i just got a new 4.4 cu ft fridge so i can store the 3.5 liters upright instead of on there side which although works well is a little tricky.

i also dont like the 8 l oxebars cause they are tall and thin and will get top heavy when low in beer . i was much more interested in the 4 l for this reason but they arent ever available.

Brilliant stuff! But I agreed a 4 litre would also be of use.

These 3 litre ones are still available in the corner shops here (Peterborough UK), about £4.50 I think
