empty bottle size recs?

[lorraineg57]

I guess I'm going to have to order some bottles somewhere. I haven't been able to find them in any stores.

I have no idea what sizes would be good. I'd like some maybe the size of eye drop containers for travel and making small amounts of new recipes and some larger for mixing batches of flavors I know for stock

What sizes come in handy?

Hi:

I've only bought from speciality bottle Vials - Specialty Bottle
I just love their little glass colored bottles with the droppers. I bought the one dram and two dram sizes. The one dram size dropper bottle is roughly 5/8 in. wide by 1 3/4 in. tall. And the two dram size dropper bottle is roughly 7/8 in. wide by 1 3/4 in. tall.

I am happy with these. Hope this helps.

P.S. Measurements are only the bottle not the top with the bulb on it. Measurement is straight across, NOT around the bottle. =)

Oh, that poor turkey. =) I have a yard full of them every day. They come to see if there is any left over grain the chickens didn't eat. I also have a relative in Cedar Rapids. That flooding last year was very sad wasen't it? Luckily, my relative chose higher ground.

After using 3ml, 6ml, 10ml, 15ml, 30ml, and higher, I'd say the most convenient bottles for everyday carrying around are the 6ml bottles from US Plastics. The 3ml (cc) bottles seemed nice at first, but are 1) a pain in the ... to keep mixing in, and 2) so small that I found myself having to mix a new batch every other day. The 6ml (cc) bottles are easier to handle for mixing purposes, large enough that you only have to do it 1-2 times a week, and small enough to be easily portable. They are also very cheap.

Yep, I bought a bunch of 6ml bottles from USPlastic for carrying around. I do all my mixing in Boston amber bottles (ten of them) and just use the eyedropper to top off the 6ml totes. The amber bottles (2oz = ~59ml) I keep in the fridge. Of all the expenses the bottles were the cheapest lol Nobody should be without them.
