For that sake, you can paint them pink! Anything that stops the light
from hitting the beer is all right. You can also wrap them in paper, or
store them under your bed or some other dark place. After all, several
commercial beers come in clear bottles (Bishops Finger [1] comes to mind)

Come on, after soaking them in bleach, caustic soda, and Iodophor, there 
should be no reason to warm them at all!

Holy Moses - 7 bars. At such pressure you would have to apply the gaffa
with surgical precision, and still it would not hold. you would need
fiberglass tape, or Kevlar, or something else modern and high-tech. But
if you keep your beers cool and don't overdo the priming sugar, you
should never get anywhere 7 bars. Besides, the weaker bottle, the
earlier it breaks, and the less energetic schrapnell will it throw
around!

At least you will notice it the moment you set the cap on, so you can
try another bottle.



Seriously, those bottles can't be all that weak, as the chockolate [2] milk
(yuck! [3]) is often heated up before serving. That alone must produce
some pressure, which they seem to handle quite well.. But they are
rpetty small, so you would have to wash a lot of them.

Better save it for a Chockolate Stout, or eat it as it is!
