What's your favorite type of bottle?

I like the ones with beer in them

I know everyone like Sierra Nevada bottles but for some reason, my wing capper breaks off the neck of these every time. I hate that. I have no problem with any other non-twist-off bottles. I do have a large collection of 22oz Martinelli Sparkling Cider bottles that are pretty much indestructible.

22oz & short 12oz sierra nevada style bottles. I'd probably do all 22oz if I had enough except for strong beers.

anything except Amstel Light bottles. It is a PITA to get those labels off.

personally, i love the look of the orval trappist bottles. i only have one right now though.

You need a new capper! I've capped several hundred SNPA bottles with my old metal wing capper. The only one I've ever broken the neck on was because I accidentally stacked two caps together.

I have a closet with about 6 cases of returnable 16's ... perhaps they will give me back my deposit after 10 years.. and another 6 cases of 12's. I've been putting them in the recycle bin pretty reguar now as I keep getting more.

I'm swing-top for the limited amout I bottle. They really can't be beat. I wish I could buy full Grolsh swing tops around here. I'd enjoy them more than once.

The only bottles I hung onto through a move are two Orval and one DFH Fort (750ml brown US champagne).

 

[Aspera]

750 mL punted bottom green champagne bottles. They hold pressure well and are easy on the eyes. If they were brown, that would but even cooler.

I love my German sparking wine bottles. They are a little shorter and rounder than my other Champs. I love the shape and size of them and they cap beautifuly & hold 750ml. I think they are my favorite thing. But I only bottle in things I have recycled so really anything I get free is good for me.

I bottled last weekend and snapped a total of 3 bottles. 2 of 3 that cracked were Sierra Nevada bottles. Up to then, I had only broken maybe 1 or 2 in all of my previous batches combined. I don't know what's up. This was with my black capper. Maybe I'll switch to the red one.
