Hi all new guy here .
I've decided to try my hand at making some hard apple cider , I've read threw a bunch of threads and have my yeast , pectic enzyme, sanitizer , bubbler and such on the way . Matter of fact thanks to all the info to be found here I don't have any questions on making cider .
But I do have a question on bottling , namely the cheapest , safe way I can possibly bottle about 2 gallons .
I'm sure a lot of you out there might say cheap isn't the way to go but here's my facts , I'm disabled and live on a fixed income .
My fun money amounts to about $30 a month .
So I tend to look for low cost options to fill the days with cheap entertainment.
My first thought was to get empty beer bottles , but I found a problem with that . I don't drink beer and I can't think of a single person that I know who does drink beer . Hard to believe I know .
I could buy new bottles, but that will set me back two months , as I won't have enough cash to buy bottles , caps and a capper in the same month .
I was thinking about plastic soda bottles , but I don't have a clue if re-using them is a good idea or not .
I welcome the help , thanks in advance
