I have a selection of empty beer bottles at home,
Being too lazy to take them down the tip.

Yours is the sort of recycling I approve of though. Can you use normal brown beer bottles?

If you have any grolsh style flip tops they're worth selling on ebay
they go for about £2 each.

I'll have a look.
Not really a lager drinker, but I may have some.

It's amazing the shit you can sell on ebay
I've sold copies of the Metro before, to Americans. Copies of my local paper also sell well, when Man Utd do something clever.

I did see a polar bearskin rug a while ago,
which looked cool.

At an average of 20 pinys a day, yes.

Well it's only 24 litres a batch so I have to get through
48 500ml bottles before the first batch is ready to be bottled which from today will be about 10-12 days...

So you've got Easter sorted then?

I will spend a lot of time crimping bottle caps.
and to answer your question above, yep you can use any bottles that are designed to hold fizz. So you can even put it in coke bottles or champagne bottles if you like.

I'd invest in some reusable tops.
When I made wine, I used them all the time.
(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Wed 28 Mar 2012, 12:31, Reply)

I may do, or slowly collect flip top bottles.
the reusable ones aren't usually strong enough to deal with fermentation in the bottle.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 28 Mar 2012, 12:33, Reply)

Yeah I suppose so.
Wine is usually finished fermenting when it comes to bottling, unless it's a sparkling one.
