yes I agree that would have been ideal however these bottles were given to me. I might just throw them away but I hare to do so because they r pint bottles which are a little harder to come by

I have a bunch of bottles that already had some brew in them and i wanna use them to bottle my next batch. what is the best way to get the remnants of the yest sediment out of the bottom of the bottles? thx :mug:

i have several of the dead guy bottles. if I am goin to re seal them do I need to buy a rubber gasket or something to seal them again or can I just re screw on the cap tightly ?

thank very much for all of your input I will finish this one out inthe bucket. as it turns out my late grandfather used to make his own wine and apparently in the garage at a realatives house there is 5 glass 5 gallon carboys so i guess my problem is solved.
