What bottles can you use for home brew?

When it comes to home brewing, there are two main bottles glass and plastic. Glass bottles are sturdy, easy to sterilise, and reusable, making them a fan favourite. They're also excellent at keeping your beer or wine fresh with their airtight seal. Glass bottles is harder to move around as they can break and shatter. On the other hand, plastic bottles are a cheaper and lighter option, as they won't break as easy as glass. But they are not perfect as they are not as durable as glass bottles and can't be reused as many times.

Wines much the same with good quality wine bottle corks wine will last years in the right conditions, But we hope that your wine and beer are so good they won't last that long

How many bottles all depends on what size your batch of home brew is, but in general most beer kits are 5 gallons so 1 pint or 500ml beer bottle you will require 40 of these, for a 5 gallon wine kit around 30 bottles and 1 gallon wine kit 6 bottles. Most of our bottles have the bottle size to make it easier to work out how many bottles for your home brew you require.
