Use your own collected bottles. The bottle capper thing will put the caps that you can order on any beer bottle you buy?

It's ALWAYS best to find someone who drinks a lot of Sam Adams or other craft brews. NEVER use the main-stream bottles, twist-offs are very hard to recap and most will leak or spoil and best to stick with amber bottles. The advantage to buying the bottles by the box is the pre-divided is very good for storage and finishing the beer.

I just looked at my cap and the only thing it says on it is "GuyotDesigns". You will have to ask them directly. As already noted by Stewart E. most of the time the water in your bottle will not be in contact with the cap, so it would be nothing like having the water in direct contact and possibly leaching BPA's constantly, so it might not be a concern for you.

Get the beer gun. This is used just for getting it from a kegerator tap. If you have a beer gun, you get ALL the options! I have both and use the beer gun more often.

You need something to put beer in once it's made, ex. empty bottles, caps, bottle capper.

I don't know whether work with beer bottles, but can't imagine why not. The stoppers are slightly shaped so should fit different width bottle openings.

Negative.. you'll have to buy them separate. They're not very expensive fortunately.After I bought these I had a friend ask why I didn't just buy a few 6 packs of NON-twist off beer and save the bottles. I hadn't thought of that, but it makes more sense than paying for empty bottles. You can recap the store bought bottles just as easily.

If there is not an indention on the sides of the top of the bottle, they won't work. You can use bottle caps and a capping gadget.

It's definitely geered toward beer. Some of the materials will overlap, but (not having made wine myself, but having seen the stuff they sell for it at my local brew supply store) you don't need as large a fermenter for most wine recipes, plus the instruction book is beer specific and won't help you. The bottle capper will do you no good and you'd need additional materials for corking wine bottles. So, basically, I think you'll want to look for a wine-specific starter kit!!

Yes and yes. The cap, however, is an old style and is just a cap (no straw or spout). The UV will fit any of their standard sized bottles (can't remember the size off the top of my head).

Each bottle should come with a cap. There are different colored bottles and different colored caps. If you are missing one cap, contact Amazon. If one of your caps is white and one a different color it shouldn't matter. In fact I like different colored caps as I use the color to distinguish the flavor. For instance I usually make one bottle of fizzy water and one bottle of tonic water. The cap color tells me which one is flavored. Hope this helps.

I looked for just the cap, that was my problem. I couldn't find one. I settled for a whole new bottle but you end up with extra pieces. Sorry.

My little cap broke after a few years. I just went through my cupboards and found a cap the same size on some random old water bottle that worked. You can also buy replacements on Amazon, and I am sure elsewhere, but the shipping will cost more than the cap.

No, the package I ordered and received didn't include caps. That would have been great, though, because there's no way to close the tips if I have left over contentss in them. I unscrew the tops and put plastic wrap over the bottle then screw it back on for storage.

The caps can be tricky to assemble. Contact us before purchase and we will gladly assemble them for you (at no charge of course) before shipping. Already have the bottles? Call us at 1-888-BREWING for easy installation directions. Cheers!

Yes they do. But they are expensive. If you are not worried about the bottles being tampered with you can reuse the caps. I even use pop bottle caps and have not had one fail yet. The Mr. Beer caps will work just fine, but this is another way to save money. That was one of the reasons I started making my own beer. That, and the beer is superior to store bought beer.

Yes you will have to buy bottles or buy a couple cases of your favorite pop top beers, drink them up and save those!

They sell the screw on cap for those bottles at wal-mart. They have them in the hardware department with the pur/brita watrt pitchers and filters. They will either be on a peg or on the shelf in a box. At least that's where I saw them At tje wal-mart I shop at. By the way, this cap has a plastic ring that allows you to use it on most 5 gallon bottles with a threaded neck.
