Hi all, new to the forum..please be gentle.
I need to buy about 60 green champagne bottles to put my first brew of cider in. Anyone know anywhere that sells them.... I am in Dumfriesshire (South Scotland)
Thanks

Welcome to the forum David, dont worry "gentle" is my middle name, sort of.
Not really sure of a place that would definitely sell those bottles, especially in Scotland, but we got a lot of wine-style bottles from Wilkinsons last year. They have quite a lot of home-brew equipment so they may be worth a look if you have those stores in Scotland (we've got loads of them round here).
Good luck

Hi Gents,
Thanks for that. I have a Wilkinsons nearby and have bought most of my kit from there already. Sadly they do not seem to do "pressure" bottles.
I want to make sparkling cider, and last time, used "champagne" style with plastic corks and wire downs. I have used 2 litre plastic "pop" bottles in the past which works, but the size is a problem, and they are a bit naff. I suppose one solution would be Grolsch" style bottles with re-useable tops/seals. What does everyone else use for sparkling cider?
Perhaps I should be going round the local pubs and scrounging from there empties!
David. |

Garry,
Thanks for that link. I will check it out in detail later. I am in a place called Ecclefechan, Nr Lockerbie, Dumfrissehire. I have views out over the Solway, can you see me waving?
