Do you want to buy them or do you want free ones?

If buying sites like HERE

Or free ones in my early years of homebrew, I just used Coke pet bottles. We used to get through half a doz a week with the nippers at home. The Coke bottles stand up to the gas that Coke pump in, never had a problem with them.

Those Schweppes bottles are good too the tonic and bitter lemon ones apparently those and the coke ones can stand upto 50 psi so good for fizzy stuff. :thumb:

You can get cheap sparkling or soda water from supermarkets. If you get their own brand it's dirt cheap and the bottles are fine to use as they have had fizzy in before.

Just one thing to remember, they are clear so keep the light out as much as possible once you have filled them with your homebrew.
