co2 pressure in belgian bottles?

Fri May 14, 2010 9:04 am

Anyone know if the Belgian bottles from places like NB can handle elevated pressures? I'm thinking of using them for saisons and BW. Will these bottles hold that kind of pressure or do I need to get champagne bottles instead? Think they can handle 3-4 volumes safely?

I'm not sure of the exact bottles that you are referring to. But if they are the "regular" Belgian corked variety - Duvel, Chimay, Ommegang, Lost Abbey, Unibroue, etc... then they will hold 4 volumes no problem.
