Home Brew Bottles - Which should I use?

There is much debate concerning the type of bottles to use for your home brew beer. One of the key decisions comes down to whether to use plastic or glass. The thing to bear in mind if you use plastic beer bottles is that they can lose carbon dioxide over long periods. With this in mind, If your brew requires a long fermentation time you might be better off using glass bottles instead. Glass bottles are also more robust and don't harbor bacteria like the plastic equivalents can and we all know the importance of sanitised equipment during the brewing process!
