soon as i put the post on i did a search, found some good tips, i am gonna bottle this in 2 ltr pets ready for summer

I prefer 500ml pets as they can be poured in one go and the sediment doesn't get disturbed.

i've started bottling in 500ml bottles and also 2lt. wouldn't do the whole lot in 500ml coz i'm lazy!!

Daab, where'd you get your 500ml PET's from?

[vacant]

Coke/pepsi/tango/7up/ginger beer/lucozade.... all come in 500(ish) ml pets.

Collect them from the bins outside shops etc,

If a bottle from a bin appears to be half full of lucozade, it probably isn't lucozade.

You never cease to amaze me - I have just made the leap from all 1ltr PET for a brew to half 1ltr PET half recapped brown glass 500ml.

Now I find I can use her old fizzy-pop bottles too? What an eclectic collection of full bottles I could be storing in my beer shed!

I didn't think of 500ml bottles, I just bought a 1l beer stein.

The old 2 litre pop bottles are great - I rarely use anything else. Just decant first into one of the 2 litre plastic juice pitchers you find in the supermarkets, leaving the sediment behind.

You can get ones with a valve closure on a sealing lid, and a pouring nozzle which helps with head forming.
