I picked up two 25oz HoeGaardens last night.

A. I wanted to taste it
B. The bottles are nice and I still need loads of bottles for the homebrew.

The draw back! They use a larger bottle top than standard and are no good.
Ih well never mind I'l just gave to go buy something else and drink that as well.

It's a hard life, Bro. , but we learn from our mistakes. My advice would be to steer away from bottles with odd volumes. 25 ounces is , what , .73 liters ? Stick to whole numbers. It's safer. BTW, you have my admiration for the pics of your wine a while back. Nothing wrong with small batches, and the ingenuity of it was cool.

What size is that in ML? It must have metric on it unless you got them from some strange source (and as odd is Warrington is it's NOT that strange )

Interesting to know...

Caplan, I've been conerting to oz 'cause that's the sizes the US uses.

Roughly our bottlesizes to theirs.

12oz = 350ml
25oz = 750ml
50oz =1.5L

Tesco have the 750 Hoegaarden and 1.5l Flip top grolsh


Here's some pictures of my small domain. I've just bought a 5 gallon secondary fermenter and a couple of extra buckets and stuff.

Good work Orfy - But everyone should remember US imperial measures (16 fluid oz to a pint for example) are different to UK imperial measures (20 fluid oz to one pint)! Our US friends then have to translate that back and forth into metric too!

Always worth remembering when you start a recipe into the primary and something doesn't seem right....

And Orfy have you tried to hide your kitchen table under some hops? If you did it's a rubbish camouflage job, your own dog appears to be trying to sell it from under your nose for a couple of grolsch...
