Every batch of Skeeter Pee I've make I use 1/2 gallon plastic screw top juice jugs. I put the last 1/2 to 3/4 gallon from carboy into 2 of these jugs. These get drank first. I've had Skeeter Pee in these jug for 2 months with no problem. The rest goes into wine and beer bottles. Someone can...

Thanks Airplanedoc and Wade, I'll give it a try because I sure love the clear bottles for the colorful Pee.

Corona Bottles Airplanedoc I'd like a bit more information on this. I have an unlimited supply of Corona bottles and I would love to get the ink/paint labels off of them. I'm assuming you thin out the CLR, Lime Away or StarSan with water, if so what ratio do you use? Eric
