Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
They're dishwasher safe! (At least so far) I throw the caps in the utensil basket.
oh god this reminded me that many americans (and other similarily terrifying countries) don't have good tap water
literally the only point of bottled water here is that it's an easy way to get water on the go, if i want cold water i just.. turn the tap to cold..
I use tap water and my old Gatorade bottles. I drink about a Gatorade a day so I only need to reuse the bottles once or twice.
For those carbonated water snobs like myself. I bought a 10lb CO2 bottle along with a hose that adapts to the soda stream and an adapter for regular carbonated water bottles.
Now I had pretty much unlimited carbonated water.
Is the water supposed to look soapy?
It does kinda create the illusion of soapy bubble filled white water. If you change thinking about the 'white water' section to actually be the see through part in between clear round water droplets (the 'bubbles') that are clinging to the side of the container.
It's most likely someone recently poured some water out of it from the spout at the bottom and what water is left on the sides from the former water line slowly makes its way down to the new water level.
That's condensation.
I installed an under-sink inline filter. it's nice, cost like $60
Glacier water gang... No need for filters
Oh I’m stealing the fuck out of this idea (probs not through supporting Starbucks, but the general methodology)
Seems like a no-brainer only once you see it
It looks like one of those aestheticly pleasing tik tok vídeos
Why would you keep both (that many) water bottles and the refill tap in the fridge? Surely either one wold suffice. You can always refill.
You could move the Brita to the counter top to recover some fridge space if you wanted since you're chilling the bottles. Good re-use of those bottles though!
I love Grolsch swing top bottles. I use them for everything. Water, homemade sauces, "use" bottles (I buy stuff like vinegar, oils, etc. in bulk and top up grolsch bottles for actual use), etc.
I absolutely love to drink out of glass and these big openings are so good.
How do you clean them? I once bought a dozen blue bottles of the Grolsch swing top style. I had to get rid of them eventually because there is no bottle brush that will get down in there. They were cool until then though.
I usually just soak them in Oxiclean Free in a bucket overnight once 4-6 are dirty (or PBW cleaner when I had it around when I would homebrew). You can also just put the Oxiclean in the bottles and let them sit overnight.
I also have a narrow bottle brush that I'll use that fits in there, but honestly the oxiclean basically cleans everything, even crusted junk, with an overnight soak. Then I just rinse them thoroughly.
I've also added coarse salt and rubbing alcohol and shaken the shit out of them then put them in the dishwasher for a box of like 30 of them that I bought at a garage sale for $1 (I don't think the dude ever even rinsed them after drinking the beer), but that's before I discovered how well oxiclean soak works.
If they're not particularly crusty, I'll just add a little dish soap and hot water and shake. Cleans them fine for me for me for the ones that get used more quickly/regularly.
Sweet, thanks. I'll give it another go next time.
Nice! I might have to copy you, do you remove the labels and then just hope the dishwasher gets the sticky off?
Acetone works good to get the goo off. It might fuck with your washing machine when there are bits and glue in the pump.
i would recommend removing the adhesive with a razor or appropriate chemical, you dont want to clog up the works in your washer.
If the label is paper, give it half effort at peeling, then let the dishwasher take care of the rest. If it's plastic, peel it off and let the dishwasher wash off the goo. I have had it take a couple cycles to get it all off, though. I do this with Calypso bottles mainly.
very nice.
