Well I finally bottled the brew this evening. I went to Sainsburys this afternoon and got 16 bottles of basic tonic water (24p a bottle), got home and poured the lot down the drain, sterilised the bottles and bottled up most of the brew into them. I had to ditch about 2 litres down the drain...

Right I am in a bit of pickle here. The brew should have been bottled off yesterday but I don't have enough bottles. I got some from the local pub so I have enough I think but I have no way of capping the bottles. I have the caps but no capper and wilkos didn't have any in stock and there is...

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask but here goes. I have been trying to get some demijohns from freecycle to no avail and looking round it seems a lot of the online brew shops sell "plastic demijohns" which look suspiciously like the 80p bottles of water from the supermarket...

One more question. There is a pub at the top of my road which I don't frequent often but they would probably let me rifle through the bottle bins if I asked. Are used beer bottles OK to reuse?

Thanks for the replies guys. The problem I have is there is nowhere local (south east London) where I can get homebrew supplies so I am stuck ordering from the internet and with the current state of the postal system I have receiving nothing. The local wilkos has one small shelf for homebrew...

Thanks for replying mate. Couple of questions. Why are the PET bottles only OK for short term use? Also is there anything I can add at the start (or along the way) to make it less dry. I am not looking to make a really strong (alcohol) Cider but I have read online about others adding yeast...

Helllo All, I have managed to scrounge a couple of manky old demijohns off the local freecycle to make a batch of Turbo Cider. I have read so many different recipes on the net that's getting a bit confusing. I want to make up a batch to bring back home to Ireland at Christmas. My dad is a...
