Hello Jason, Coilers,

Several years ago I made a brine cap out of nine 1 litre HDPE juice bottles
that worked fine for me.  It stood up to a 12/30 NST quite well, and if I
recall correctly, it had a capacity of about 50% more than my "Corona Beer
Bottle" cap which used 9 bottles.  I attributed that to the larger surface
area of the HDPE juice bottles.
