8314 Beer Bottles, Caps and Cappers 6/11/2012

Question
I just purchased your deluxe brewing kit and 3 ingredient kits. I live in Maine and it looks like shipping bottles will be cost prohibitive. Can I use 16oz plastic beer bottles and do you sell them?

Respectfully, Mark Haskell

Response From Homebrew Heaven
Yes, plastic bottles can be used, they just don't look "traditional". As long as your beer is stored out of bright light, I see no probelm.

We do sell them, see link below.

It is often easy to find re-cappable bottles locally, from bars, taverns and recycling places.

Respectfully? Wow. We don't get THAT much!

Enjoy
