Up until now I've been able to use my old bottles from juice i bought before DIY, and I've used a few mason jars along the way... picked up a few 4oz amber bostons as well. But now that I plan to mix on a larger level, I need to actually buy some bottles.
Obviously, we want glass over plastic, and of course colored glass. Amber is much more cost-effective than cobalt or green, likely better for light-absorption as well.
So, looking at amber boston round bottles, what do you think is the best size for storing and steeping juice?
For actual use, I generally transfer to a 5ml plastic squeeze-drip bottle anyway, unless using a big tank in which case I'd just transfer 5ml form the bottle to the tank directly. So these would just be for storage, for the most part.
I can see relative advantages for each.

- 1/2 oz (15ml) - $50/180
- 1oz (30 ml) - $30/72 or $55/144
- 2oz (60 ml) - $75/160
- 4oz (120ml) - $50/72
