That's not going to happen, or did they find another way to fund it? "Funding Unsuccessful - This project's funding goal was not reached on on August 18, 2013."

Wilkinson's only have rubber and Boots don't stock homebrew any more.

Read the Daily Wail tomorrow and it'll probably cure cancer too! :lol: Most modern bottles are lined with plastic, though. In the case of SIGG and Earthlife ones, I think it's pretty good BPA-free plastic. Still best not to scratch the inner if you can avoid it and I prefer not to put anything...
