Bottle Size

What size of bottles do you use when you bottle your cider?

I am thinking for going somewhere between 250 to 500 ml. I am also planning on using reusable flip top bottles.

I use 16 oz (473 ml) swing cap bottles. I'm very happy with that size. Do yourself a favor and buy the EZ-Cap brand. I've tried a number of different brands and have found EZ-Caps to be the best.

I just use regular reused 12 oz beer bottles. That is the right serving size for me since I'm usually gonna want something different for my next drink.

I don't make cider but for my beer I prefer the 640 once size, stainless steel.

330ml (12 oz) crown cap (not twist tops) beer bottles. Mostly recycled, so easy to find. I get mine from a sporting group that likes to drink lots of beer! Just the right size for me but beware 330 ml of 6.5% ABV is about 1.8 standard drinks.

When I bottled, I used the same bottles as for beer. When I switched to kegging, I use the same kegs.
