Can you use a long neck beer bottle instead of a wine bottle? I realize this will give less water, but I am thinking for smaller pots.

Yes. You could do that easily, in my opinion. However, just know that the size of the actual terra cotta holder (again...in my opinion), is perhaps too larger for a smaller pot. Personally, I use these in my large pots and aqua globes in my small pots.

I would certainly think so. Only difference I can imagine is that the amt of water distributed is less.

Yes, as long as it is not larger than the typical bottle of wine. For our smaller plants we bought a four pack of those cute little bottles of wine at the grocery store - Lambrusco ones (not the mini liquor ones).

Yes but I prefer the Perrier water bottles, both the small one and the larger one (the larger one holds about the same amount as most liquor bottles and regular sized wine bottles which is 750ml) I find the shape and curve of the neck of these bottles to fit this item super well without wobbling which I've run into with one liquor and beer bottles. At $1-2 per bottle, it's perfect for my budget and I don't have to guzzle alcohol to gain more watering bottles, lol. Plus the green looks mighty nice in the garden and blends in.

I used mine for a brewing vessel for homemade Kombucha so I have never used a water bottle on it. Just my opinion by looking at the size it seems like a 5 gallon jug would be fine on it .

Mine didn't work at all... But I think there are YouTube videos that show how to use it with different shaped bottles... Good luck!

I'm not sureThe bottles would have to be close to the standard wine bottle size to fit. If too short, definitely won't work.

I do not think a beer bottle would work, because the opening is much wider than the neck of the beer bottle. I think a martini glass would work, but not a solo cup. I really like my plates and have been told these are great!

There is no approved method of using a large tank. I suppose a clever person could rig an an adapter but I do not condone this behavior. Also the heater is supported by the 1 lb bottle, and that would require additional rigging. All in all not worth going against the mfg's recommendations.

You will need bottles with the indentations for swing-top caps. Regular beer bottles won't work.

We have used the wine bottle sealer without any trouble. I don't know why you would be having trouble unless the outside diameter of the bottle type is too wide.

You need bottles with the holes on either side of the rim so the wires can hook into. Plain beer bottles will not work

Pot works great for brewing 20 gallon batches of beer. It is not flimsy. I'd use a sturdy, low stand on account of the scalding danger posed by so much hot liquid. I use a home made stand constructed of heavy rebar.

No problem. Like many other coolers you may have to remove the prong that is provided in the cooler to pierce the caps of water bottles. A factor to consider with a tabletop unit, the height at which you are filling the Greenway will be nearly 3 feet above the counter.

I'm a homebrewer. I use mine to boil wort for beer. I routinely use a 15 gallon pot, (you need some "headspace" so it's not filled to the brim) on the Bayou Classic and it always does great. The pot easily has had upto 48 quarts in it due to evaporation during the boil. It has always held up, been stable, and performed properly. You should have no problems.

I don't know. If Tommee Tippee bottles are average size, then there should be no issue. If they are bigger, you may not be able to get as many on the rack.

I have not had much luck sticking a wine bottle into the ones meant for the bottle adapter. BUT I have been able to find wine bottles and liqueur bottles that fit the threaded adapter. I think the glass bottles look better than plastic bottles. And I like the way the threaded adapter works. Not all threaded bottles work, but Arbor Mist Wine Coolers (gross) and some gin bottles worked quite well. You are looking for a liqueur bottle with a workable thread, short neck, and symmetrical shape.

I put one in a JD bottle, but I think it was the smaller bottle. Doesn't have a size on it. It fits loosely in there, the metal ring pretty much just sits on the top of the bottle. I had to cut down the smallest rubber "cork" piece that came with the kit to fit it in a kinky liquer bottle if that's any help. Didn't seem to fit any bottles really well except a wine bottle. The kit's OK but wouldn't be my first choice, I guess. Plus, the directions say they have more pieces than what's included.

Yes, I just cut off the plastic ring that is on the bottle and it gives just enough extra room to be able to screw on the bottle. I use a 12 oz bottle for a couple of my smaller plants.

I'm afraid the maximum bottle length is 13 3/10". Your longer Rieslings will not fit.
