Hi Brewers,
Yesterday I received my 330ml brewing bottles. I went with the Heineken green colour. I bought 72 bottles with 100 caps for only NZ$30. I found them on a site here in New Zealand called Trademe, essentially it is the equivalent of eBay.
I also invested in a good quality bottle capper, which was a bit pricey, NZ$33 at the brewcraft store, but I guess I have to put the caps on somehow.
I used to just sanitize old Grolsch bottles. No need to cap. Though, capping is fun I admit.
ReplyDeletehmmm wondering how it will taste like :D
ReplyDeletei do cider and wine
ReplyDelete@Hart, I was thinking about that but I seriously don't like the tast of Grolsch and they don't sell the resealable 300mls here in NZ.
ReplyDeletei have done some homebrewing myself, tbh the results were poor. i ended up with some beer that tasted disgusting and cider to match. hope yours turns out better
ReplyDeleteHaha i've never tasted Heineken in my life. Although I wnt to taste it :D
ReplyDeleteI need some!
ReplyDeleteNice man, I prefer stella tho :P

ReplyDeleteIs the Munich a wheat beer?
ReplyDeleteDo you have names for the finished product?
I like most beer, but heineken just doesn't work for me :D
ReplyDeleteYou're on your way.
ReplyDeletewhen doing cider, never allow the apples to touch metal
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good buy, btw.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the capping!

Hope everything goes well, following for some more homebrew info
ReplyDeleteI think im gonna start with the wine, my mom used to make massive batches of it in her basement. stuff was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing quite like a well done homebrew,thats for sure.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'm curious to know how cost-effective it is, making your own vs buying from the store. I know that's not the only draw of it, but still, curious.
ReplyDeletegood luck
ReplyDeleteat least the bottle capper is a one time fee right?
ReplyDeleteso what is the cost?
ReplyDeletehow much is it?
ReplyDeletedo they come with booze
ReplyDeletethe best of luck man. homebrewing actually sounds like an interesting hobby, I mean you get to drink something YOU made. I think thats cool:/
