BOTTLING:

How to use this chart:
Locate the column for the number of gallons that you will be bottling. Then read down to the type of bottle you will be using. This will give you the number of bottles of that type that you will need to bottle that volume of liquid. For example, if you have 3 gallons of cider, and will be bottling it in bottles of 1 US pint, you will need 24 bottles.

Number of bottles needed per gallon to be bottled:
All oz. are US fluid ounces.
