16 oz aluminum bottles

Since 16 fluid ounces is the capacity, it would be interesting to know what the empty weight of the bottle is. Then we can make plans for cutting them up and making things.

Also, it would be nice to know what brand of beer it is. I mean, some are drinkable and some are not.

Hum … I wonder what gas pressure the bottles will take …

Cheers

Bob,

Bottle weighs .85 oz and cap weighs .05 oz on my digital scale.

It's the Miller Lite Aluminum Pint.

Roger,

What's the pressure in a shaken bottle of hot beer? :-)

That's good information.

Now all we have to do is to find a source for the product and start running some tests.

Bob,

The source is the beverage ailse of the local Wally World.
They come in 9 packs for @ $10.plus some change.

>>start running some tests<<

Based on your earlier post are you concerned with "drinkability"? ;-)

Predictibly, I made a stove from one about two months ago that worked very well. I haven't had time to do anything more with it though.

If these are the thin aluminum like that of pop cans i like poking a hole in the top for a stake to go though, another for a vent and placing the full container in my fire (where appropriate) and leaving my stove and pots at home. Works awesome!!!!!

I have done this with caribou coffee cans with a screw top.

Aren't these being used already for constructing alcohol stoves like the WhiteBox stove and the MBD BIOS?

Miller Lite… ewwww.

People are selling empties on eBay!

Maybe I can get my brother-in-law to drink the stuff :)

David,

The aluminum pint bottles are larger in diameter and a thinner gauge than the bottles used in the Whitebox and MBD BIOS stoves.

They do seem do be a little thicker gauge than regular pop cans.

Anyone want to split a pack (I don't want the beer)? I could use two or three of the bottles. They sell them at Kroger.

Good Grief! What is the world coming to?

These empty aluminum bottles are for sale on eBay for $2 each.

–B.G.–

Yeah, but they want $5 for shipping.

Send me the beer. I will promptly empty the bottles and send them back.

Maybe we should start a new thread in the Beer Swap section.

Can't think of any other use for the stuff. Seriously, $2 for an empty can? Maybe some frat is doing a fund raiser.

The empties on eBay are like baseball cards. If you check out the ad carefully you will notice these empties have baseball players on them from different MLB teams.

Apparently these are thought of as collectible? :-^

My nine pack has nothing but the brand name of the manufacturer/brewer and the normal listing of contents etc.

I'm not above drinking Miller Lite. I have had the aluminum Bud cans. Are these the same? I don't mind drinking cheep beer. After 6 or 7 they all taste the same. If I see some at the store I'll try'em out.

I like the idea of using one as a water boiler. Just leave it unaltered and boil water in it.
