High quality 12 oz bottles, don’t use the threaded bottles, OK good idea, San Miguel Brewery has thousands of amber high quality non screw on cap bottles, and your the guy who suggested I use them.
Personally I find the only drawback to using PET screw on cap bottles is the price I have to pay to get them. Over a $1.00 ea plus the caps.
But there is a way to go, buy the Walmart flavored water in the 1 lt size for $0 .69 then wash and reuse, caps last for 5-8 Xs before replacing.

The only problem I see with home brewing is the hose job when buying supplies.

Interesting take on this issue. I for one have seen many twists on this and can often spot the holes in the argument however, on this occasion I believed your writing is such that everyone should be in agreement with this. Thank you for sharing it with us.

i usually make vino from chokecherry’s ripened in the upper peninsula of michigan’s dewey august morn sunshine. berries so plump, juicy, and dry, that i have seen black capped chickadee’s scare away hungry black bear for the sole right to a tree. i have never heard of a chokecherry beer though. what do you sugest?
