Hi, I searched and read a lot for this topic but still have some questions left, so here it is, which is all about choosing the best bottles for bottling my beer.
For now, I'm using 22oz (710ml) Corona bottles which gives me 30 bottles for one batch of beer and I would like to move on to bigger bottles.
Should I go with the 1L swing-top bottles? They're quite expensive, but they sure can last a long time and the caps are cheap to replace and are made to last a long time.
Or should I go with the plastic PET bottle? They're cheap, lightweight, but the caps last about 4-6 uses and are about 4$ for 24 and how do we know when to replace the caps?
Or can I just go to the store and buy plastic PET bottle already filled? It's even cheaper that way, but will they work for bottling?
Asides from kegging, is there any other bottles I forgot?
Thanks
