Then speed up your process. I can bottle a 40l batch in under 20 mins with this

Hence why I bought 32 oz bottles. About 1/3 the time to sanitize and bottle a 5 gallon batch. And who doesn't drink about 3 12 oz beers in one setting?
That is full of awesome. :rockin:
That looks really good. Congrats on your first!
Big bottles save a lot of time bottling, that's why most of us prefer 5 gallon bottles.
There are a few downsides to larger bottles.
a. They don't fit in the fridge very well
b. The sediment on the bottom mixes back in when you stop pouring and tilt the bottle back
c. If you give them away you lose your big bottles
d. We brewers usually don't have a problem finishing larger bottles but some of our guests and SWMBOs do. You get a bit more mileage with the flip tops.

Congrats on your first! That's an awesome feeling. I love looking in my closet where I condition my beer and seeing them waiting.
