YEBODA 12 oz Amber Glass Beer Bottles for Home Brewing with Flip Caps, Case of 9

Please disregard the previous 1-star Feedback. I found the missing stoppers in the bottom of the box, wrapped up in a bubble wrap bag after dumping out the entire contents of the packaging box. No returns or replacements necessary. My bad, I suppose. But these were not attached to the bottles like the other ones with stoppers already attached. Thanks! BM

Great quality, perfect size and flip tops seal well. I purchase every year to gift my chocolate kahlua. I highly recommend.

I made vanilla for Christmas pressure. These bottles worked great.

My first time homebrewing ... I got stuck thinking I'd just buy Grolsch bottles and 'empty' them myself. Apparently, Grolsch stopped selling their beer in the flip top bottles and now sells its 12 packs in capped bottles. I found a few singles with the flip top but those were $4 each. It looked like I'd have to do the unthinkable and buy 9 EMPTY bottles for more than the cost of a full 12 pack!!I read reviews on a bottle capper. It seemed to be the cheaper option and wouldn't require cleaning ... but reviews said this was difficult to do without breaking a few bottles. The beer I made cost around $40 per gallon all-in ... plus many hours of work, so 2 lost bottles would be a big deal.I read reviews and really wanted different colour bottles. I wanted blue and green. There were other brands which offered those options but the reviews on those indicated that there was a lot of breakage in shipping. Though 12 bottles of those brands were actually cheaper than 9 Yeboda bottles, I went with Yeboda because I needed to bottle ASAP.Unfortunately, I ordered these on Thursday night which meant they would take 4-5 days to arrive, even with Amazon Prime. They arrived in 4 days and not one bottle was broken. I did not like how their is a Yeboda logo printed on each cap. That was not shown and honestly I wouldn't have ordered if I knew. One star off.The bottles seem to seal well. I have 2-3 weeks of conditioning in the bottle after the step where you add sugar to make carbonation. I am on week #2 but its colder in my house due to chilly spring temperatures, so it might be another week or two before I can open them.They include 9 extra seals, so my guess is they wear out quick. I will probably try capping my next batch with bottle caps to compare and contrast. Washing these seems like a chore and if the seals fail, the beer is ruined ... so when do you change the seals?Overall these worked. The bottles are thick and sturdy feeling. They look like typical beer bottles. I would like coloured versions and no logos on the cap.

When I package every beer I make, I both keg and bottle. I have found that for bottling, the fliptop bottles are simply easier to deal with, and offer a more attractive alternative to traditional capped bottles. The downside is that fliptop bottles are only available in 16 ounce and larger. For some, that extra size is too much and they prefer traditional 12 ounce portions.These bottles solve that conundrum.I have tried this out on a few batches. On earlier runs, I set a few bottles aside to see how well they would retain carbonation when compared to both capped and traditional 16 ounce fliptop bottles. I have noticed absolutely no difference.For me and for those with whom I share my Home Brew, these particular 12 ounce fliptop bottles a sweet spot. For me, they are easy to use when I do a bunch of living room – the only difference with traditional fliptop bottles is that I obviously need more of these for a given amount of beer. For the drinkers, The intimidation factor of having to commit to drinking more beer is gone. Yes – I know for some that is a good thing, however for more casual beer drinkers, it sometimes is not.I will certainly be buying more of these.

I love these bottles! They are sturdy and hold the seal very well. The bail is a bit hard to open with older hands, but I'll deal with that considering how well the seal works. As for cleaning, well, it's the nature of these types of bottles with this shape to be a bit harder to clean. I always rinse them out right after drinking my fermented lemonade and so far there has been NO problems. I am going to buy another 9 in the near future.

Bottles were shipped with care with a layer of bubble wrap as well as cardboard dividers, and all arrived intact and perfectly assembled with no faults or blemishes in the glass. These glasses are very thick and will hold up quite a bit better than a standard beer bottle, especially to prevent against explosions from potential over-carbonation. The bottles use plastic for their caps instead of ceramic, which is another bonus as plastic is much less likely to break over time. Also included is an extra set of stoppers, although not identical to the original ones that are shipped on the bottles which lack a hole in the center. The bottles close very tightly, so they seem like they will hold a seal very well when I put them to use. These bottles will definitely be my first in mind should I ever need another set.

I wanted the bottles for the color. It's a good quality. Will order again
