Review on 🍾 WILLDAN Set of 6-8.5oz Swing Top Glass Bottles - Premium Brewing Bottles for Kombucha, Kefir, Vanilla Extract, and Beer – Airtight Caps, Leak-Proof Lids, Bonus Gaskets, and Funnel Included by Anne Battle

That bottle exploded last night, oops, scared the dog. It's only 8 ounces so it didn't make a huge mess, but dealing with broken glass is a pain. I should have listened to the feedback. 5 stars for attractiveness but losing stars due to weak glass and misleading name. It's weird that it exploded from the bottom corner/side, see pictures. The first image also shows that the crack extends from the point of release to the top of the bottle. I make Junitea (cousin of Kombucha) and will not be using this bottle again for either this or water kefir. Only one bottle in my experience exploded, another bottle, 33oz, and it was water kefir with raspberries, forgot to burp, ripped off the top glass where the fizz goes up. (Everywhere in the kitchen, on the ceiling, in cupboards, raspberries were flying up, what a disaster!) However, for this batch of Jun tea, I only have one bottle of Wildan at 8 ounces and 2 other bottles of Stout/Sauce at 8 ounces and two recycled bottles used bottles per 16 oz. Kombucha Bottles. I always do my second fermentation within 3 days so that was quite unexpected. The first batch I made with these 8oz wildan did well, all 6 were placed in a small box for testing; none exploded. I also read that square bottles are not good for enzymes like kombucha, hmmm. So there you have it; For some reason this bottle popped out of the bottom corner, I don't recommend it for carbonated ferments like kombucha. Please click 'Report Incorrect Product Information' under the description/name and let Revain know that this bottle's name needs to be changed! The more people do this, the more likely they are to change it, because carbonated enzymes need a safe and proven bottle.
