What about it eh!

Does anyone see a problem sending bottles of over primed, under pressure beer to each other through the post?

[koomber]

Sounds good. Maybe better to send a platic bottle with non-primed beer to folk then let them prime and bottle it at home.
I'd be up for it. Or, if your heading to GF I'm planning taking a few bottles of my first AG batches with me (a wheat beer and a bitter of my own devising).

Cool. Is that using the same plastic bottles that are used for the wine?

[lockwood1956]

Yup!

Chilled the beer, and then poured into pet bottle....

i also primed in pet bottle another beer using 1/4 tsp sugar and it worked fine too

Does the chilling the beer before pouring into the pet bottle help to keep the gas in?

Yes, being cold it holds onto the gas better.
