I'm still waiting for my real o-like goggles to get here, but in the mean time I've discovered that a standard brown bud light beer bottle passes only a very dim, diffuse spot when hit with 1W of 445.

Heres the spot at approx 1ft from the bottle, with the laser passing through sideways so it goes through 2 layers of glass. The spot is barely visible.

Also, if anyones ever aimed a laser into a beer, it is highly fluorescent, with a bright yellow beam through the beer.

Interesting. The glass must be acting as a filter....not sure if it would get the CE stamp of approval however :)

Yeah, most alcohol bottles block light quite well as to much light can inhibit the fermentation process.

We had a member blow his diode from a back reflection off the beer bottle he was pointing at. :whistle:

Except... fermentation takes place in large vats, not in the bottle. :can:

I think its to protect the freshness from UV that would break it down otherwise, milk packaging does the same thing they're in soft white to yellow containers. Again I dont know what the UV damages in the beer or milk but that isn't something a googling can't fix :) cause now well.... I have to know since the question has been asked.

Oh, sorry I worded it wrong. The light can help other micro-organisms develop which can damage the end product. I read this somewhere but it may not be reputable and I am by no means an expert in that field...
