For normal in-house use, I've been using 2-liter recycled soda bottles. They can certainly handle the CO2 pressure, and they are easy to clean and sanitize.

That’s what I used to use. I haven’t brewed in a couple years now, but I still have my 2 liter pop bottles cleaned up and stored in giant clear plastic bags. I have a bunch of 3 liter bottles too and a bunch of glass half gallon jugs. I always wanted to upgrade to cornelius kegs.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll give that a try. Best of luck to you.
That’s a good idea re: the soda bottles. IF you are able to predict how much pressure you will end up with after brewing.
I’ve had such varied results with the pressure, I take nothing for granted!
Actually, alot of my water store is in quart size Gatorade bottles. And I have probably 200 of the Grolsch bottles saved.
Purified sugar could be an issue. And getting or having a good, non-feral yeast is a must.
I need to hit the brew store and pick up a few things to do a batch of stout. Probably grab a half dozen yeast packs then, too.
It wouldn’t be easy. Two weeks after the power went out, sanitizing everything to do a brew would be a major, major task!
What would be the going rate for a six pack? A gallon of gas?
