Where can I buy blank, empty beer bottles?!
Where can I buy blank, empty beer bottles?
Answers:
Try a local homebrewing supply shop, or search the web for homebrewing supplies. You'll get a gazillion hits. I've seen them on ebay, but the shipping is outrageous.
NOTE 1:
Make certain that you do not get "twist-top" bottles, if you go dumpster diving etc. They are too thin for bottle conditioning. Your bottles may explode due to carbonation pressure. Most of your cheaper brands (bud, miller, etc.) are this type of bottle.
NOTE 2:
Don't order "swing-top" bottles. They look great, but are expensive compared to basic bottles. Maybe get a 1/2 case someday for special seasonal brews etc.
NOTE 3:
Make sure to get brown bottles, not green or (worse) clear. UV light will affect your brew, resulting in off-flavors and smells.
Hope this helps
