    Obtaining bottles

    Trying to grow my stash of 500 ml bottles at the moment ready to start brewing. Rapidly realised that there’s little price difference between a (empty) beer bottle and a bottle of beer (either the bottle or the liquid is free depending on your perspective). I noticed Aldi have Banks’s Amber...

    Long term viability of this bottle?

    Been looking around at some fancy (and very cheap) bottles on alibaba recently, saw this barrel bottle (see image) and had a question... I can't imagine this would be viable for long term storage as it is, but if I were to seal it with wax would that change things? One other question, has...

    Frozen pressed apple juice & bottling

    Hi peps, new to the forum, thanks for having me! Have been making cider from home pressed apples & always used all my juice fresh. This year I have frozen nearly 10 litres and wondered if i need to do anything without (after thawing!) before using it. I intend mixing it with a supermarket juice...

    FREE to a good home...

    I have about 300 x 500ml glass bottles if anybody wants them ( 75% brown, 25% green), and about 50 odd plastic PET bottles. Completely free. I would rather someone was able to make good use of them, as opposed to me disposing of them in a bottle bank. Let me know if you would like them, please.

    Square bottles

    I've just learnt the hard way not to use square bottles! I got six for £9 delivered - with swing tops. One exploded at 3am and the second a minute later. A right bollocking from the missus but the damage was limited. Bedroom carpet was OK after a Vax shampoo and my printer and e-bike...

    Bottles; where do you get them?

    Hello, Just wondering where you guys are getting your brown 500ml bottles from? I've come across this outfit and they seem well priced. One of their sales team also assured me that the bottles are good for withstanding conditioning pressures...

    Fixing Over-Carbonated Beer - Swing Top Bottles?

    Hi guys. A simple question I'm sure for all the experienced folk on here. I have researched fixes for over-carbed bottled beer - the solution being to slowly vent the bottles periodically. This seems to only work with crown bottled caps, as the swing tops always have that initial sudden pop...

    Over 1000l of steriliser for 35p

    Just thought I'd mention this as it's always worked for me. Tesco thin bleach at 35p for 2l. I mix 40ml to 23l of water in a FV (PH should be 7.5 - 8 if you have the means to test), sink my bottles and syphon tube etc. in it and leave for 30 mins. No rinse needed if you let the equipment...
