Hey Guys,
I was making my first batch and had it setting in my garage, and after about 5 hours I checked on it to see how the seperation was going and the plastic bottle had cracked in the bottom and everything drained out. I was using a 5 gallon Culligan water bottle, so it was much thicker than a 2 liter bottle. Any ideas as to how it could have cracked, and how to prevent this in the future? Thanks guys.

Not sure.
You could always try another one and see if this was an isolated event. I've never put bio in one of those water bottles. I do have one that has some high Acid value oil in though that's been there about two years and still holding.
