Hi, I've just got to the stage of bottling my beer but I have no bottles. I've searched around on the Internet but only found one place that sells PET bottles for £13 for 24 1 litre. Is there anywhere that I can buy cheaper bottles... £13 sounds a bit much.

Thanks for the replies. I assume that when I do add sugar for priming it should be brewing beer right not normal sugar?

I recently bought a Hambleton Bard Dry Beer Kit which consists of dried malt extract, hop extract and yeast, and equipment to make my first brew.

the bread yeast idea was just for convinience as I couldn't find anywhere near me that sold any brewers yeast, but ive ordered some of the internet anyway. One more question... Once I have bottled it, is it really neccessary to keep it air tight. I have an air lock but I cannot find any info...
