This story reminded me of an attempt I once made to reuse those Grolsch bottles. I figured they would be perfect for my homemade ginger beer. Well, it turns out that ginger beer, left to its own devices in an airtight container, will generate a heck of a lot more CO2 than there is in Grolsch, and glass bottles won’t withstand as much pressure as the 2-litre pop bottles I usually use. The result was a couple of exploding bottles and a kitchen covered in ginger beer and green glass shards. The moral of this story is that not all of these things are as well suited to adaptive reuse as you might think.
