Hello everyone...had a newbie question concerning bottling.
I am still about 3 weeks away from having to bottle, but wanted to purchase my glassware sooner rather than later.
I live in an apartment so size/space is always an issue. I figure that 5 gallons of beer is aproximately 640 ounces of beer. So instead of getting 48 bottles and bottling those, I thought I would get the following:
1 2 liter growler(64 ounces)
12 1 liter amber fliptops(total of 384 ounces)
12- 16 ounce amber fliptops(total of 192 ounces)
This would be aproximately enough storage for 640 ounces of beer. I know actual beer produced will be less than this but this combination cuts down on the actual # of bottles I will have laying around my place. My question is does bottling directly to bottles that are larger than a normal 12 oz standard size result in any carbonation issues? Will I have any problems if I go directly to the 2 liter and 1 liter bottles?
ANy help greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
EA
