OK, this will make the purists cringe, but a long time ago I was bottling a batch when I ran out of glass bottles.
All I had were some plastic two liter soda bottles and figured why not? I was going to pour the left-over proto-beer down the drain, anyway..
So, I cleaned and rinsed the plastic bottles then filled them and chucked them in the fridge after I made sure the caps were tight.
It worked.
The biggest benefit to "going plastic" was the bottoms of the plastic bottles, they were a natural yeast trap.
