My son's brew their own beer.. they use 22oz bottles. Would this work for that size?

A 22oz Bomber bottle has the same sized opening as a 12 ounce bottle. So it would fit and it would chill the beer. However, most homebrewers don't drink their beer from the bottle, because of the yeast in the bottle. Some people who keg, transfer their beer to bottles for various reasons, and those will have very little to no sediment. So I would check their process before buying them something they wouldn't use.

WRT home brew, chances are that if they are bottling they are carbonating in bottle, meaning that there is a yeast ring at the bottom. Chilling the beer "freezes" the yeast to the bottom (makes it drop out and stick to the bottom), and if the beer is warm the yeast will suspend like a hefeweizen, which is not terrible pleasant for most beer styles. So go with caution. Personally I would not use this product for homebrew. This seems perfect for Bud, Miller, Coors and other beers consumed from bottle where as the complexity of home and microbrews are best experienced from proper glassware (not a shelf friendly pint glass, but I am sure Amazon has plenty of specialty glasses to consider.

If your sons homebrew, they are probably making styles that do not need to be served ice cold. This product is designed more for light lagers, like budweiser, or the Mexican imports, like Corona.(Also, I would say that your sons should probably be pouring their beer into a proper glass, but that might make me look like a snob...)

Yes as long as the neck of the bottle is the same size. But per earlier response may be short. I bought these for husband as you can't buy cold beer except at a liquor store in Indiana.

I bought these as a gift so I can't say this for sure, but I think there is a cap section on the top of the device that fixes it in the bottle and stops it from falling in. I believe they fit in 16 oz bottles so it might be a little short for the 22ozs, but the bottle openings are the same size so that should be alright. I bought them for the same purpose for my boyfriend for Christmas.

i tried the silicone sleeve off of the life factory bottles, I actually bought it for this purpose, and it doesn't fit without cutting. It is just too short, in comparison to the 22 ounce water bottle (they don't make 24 oz)

Yes it should. I use it for mashing grain during the beer brewing process which requires me to hold water and gain at a precise temperature around 150°f for at least one hour. My temp drops no more than one degree in that time.I would caution you that temps in excess of 180°f might cause the inner lining to warp.

It will accommodate a 3 inch diameter bottle. I use mine with a 24 oz. Thermos. I would say this is pretty much the maximum size.

I make my own simple syrup and sour mix and use these in beer bottles for those. I have used then in both 12 oz and 22 oz beer bottles, they are tight but they work.

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

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 .

i would not use it to bottle beer. i don't feel the seal on the top is permanent enough for the storage of beer over any period of time. mw

My pot is OD 18.5" and it has lots of space. You shouldn't base your next pot size on the beers you'll be making and not the size of the chiller though ;) I highly recommend 9+ gal pots for full-boil 5 gal batches. Cheers!

Works with Primo 5 gallon jug so yes I would think so. Haven't tried Carboy.

It won't fit a very small opening. I have some 2 oz bottles that it fits in, but they have the same size opening as the larger bottles.

As long as it is the standard threaded connection, any size tank would work. I routinely hook up to 100# tank of brew club brewing days.

Yes, I use mine for our Dr. Brown 8 oz. glass baby bottles every day. Still love it many months later.

That is exactly what I use it for and it work great. I have probably brewed 200+ gallons with mine and it is still going strong.

Well the picture shows it in a 6 gallon Carboy bottle. I think it may be 5 inches maybe 6. It may work for that.

I use it with 10ml bottles, but it would probably fit 15ml bottles as well.

Go ahead and get the solid rubber stopper set up if u can cuz this one is a hollow type stopper and doesn't put enough pressure on the sides to create a good seal. It never bubbled till I went to the brew shop and purchased a solid stopper with a small hole in it. But to actually answer the question, it will fit a five gallon bottle. "Kind of"
