PET Bottles

[johnyrrr]

Hi guys Im new here and am brewing a ton of wine and have brewed beer before in my Mr Beer kit that I got for a gift years back. I have a batch ready to bottle this weekend. My question is there any problem with reusing those plastic PET bottles and I have been using the Millr Lite plastic 16 oz bottles too as they are soo easy to use and I dont have a capper.

Soda bottles work fine.

I use PET bottles exclusively, they are definitely re-usable, but you will want to find a source for new caps. I've found they're only good for ~3-5 uses before the gasket in them won't seal properly. Also make sure you snap off the lock ring before you put the cap on the bottle, they're a pain to get off after and they have no purpose for the actual act of sealing the bottle.
