Home Brew Bottles

How to Select Home Brew Bottles

One of the most important aspects of making your own beer are the bottles in which you put it. Homebrew bottling can be easy if you choose a good beer making kit. Home brew bottles are often plastic but sometimes glass. They are usually brown or amber in color, as colored bottles help better preserve the beer inside. The standard size for a beer bottle is 12 fluid ounces however you may find smaller or larger homebrew containers for your beer.

Kits contain enough bottles for one or two batches of homemade beer. You can order additional bottles from beer brewing supply shops online. If you do not require a full kit and already have beer making equipment, it can be cheaper to order bottles in bulk quantities. There are also deluxe bottling systems that make getting the beer into the bottle easy and fast. For some home brewers, bottles are just not large enough to hold their beer and they prefer a more convenient option.

If this sounds like you, consider a keg for beer storage. The most common type of keg for homemade beer were once used for soda syrup. A reconditioned used keg can save you money and you can be assured that it is properly cleaned and tested. You will also need a tank of CO2 for your keg. There are kegs of all sizes, some of which are compact enough to store in a standard refrigerator. Refrigeration is necessary for quality and taste. If you don't want to keep your home made beer in the kitchen fridge, consider buying a separate refrigerator for your kegs and storing it in your hobby area.

Home brew bottles are inexpensive and can often be used over and over again when cleaned and sanitized properly. Many beer making kits come with sanitizer that kills germs and prepares bottles for fresh beer. In addition to bottles, other supplies required for making and enjoying beer include a fermentation device, filtered water, hops, malted barley, yeast, an adhesive thermometer to ensure proper temperature and step by step instructions. Once you gain skill in beer making you can try new recipes, there are hundreds of different ones out there to suit every preference. You'll find lots of recipes in home brew cookbooks and even Internet sites devoted to the pursuit of making beer.
