I know there's some discussion about this already in the forum, but not all in one place and hard to read through all the other good advice for just this.
I am almost done my first batch of SP and looking for alternative bottling options. I have some friends who want me to call them the minute it's bottled, so I don't think it's going to last long. I agree that beer bottles would be great, but I don't have any, nor do I have a bottle capper or the caps, etc. In keeping with the minimal cost of making SP, I don't want to buy any more things than I have to.
I could of course put it in normal wine bottles with corks, but was looking for other alternatives given that it's not going to be around very long.
Looking for advice on the following, which I either have or can easily get:
Normal screw-top wine bottles?
Screw-top "wine cooler" bottles?
Larger screw-top wine bottles like the Carlo Rossi 1.5l mini-jugs with the wide mouth?
Gatorade bottles?
Water bottles?
Thanks for the help!
