16 oz Glass Swing Top Bottles for Kombucha, Beer, and More

Summary

The 16 oz glass swing top bottles provide a reliable and durable solution for storing a variety of beverages. Designed for optimal preservation, these bottles feature an airtight seal, ensuring carbonation is secure and the liquid remains fresh. The amber glass filters out harmful light, protecting sensitive liquids like kombucha and beer. Ideal for home brewers and small manufacturers, these bottles combine functionality with style, making them suitable for a wide range of uses.

Features of the 16 oz Swing Top Bottles

The swing top bottles are specifically crafted for storing fermented beverages, such as kombucha and beer. Their flip-top closure, also referred to as a grolsch-style cap, ensures a tight seal that keeps carbonation in and oxygen out. This feature is particularly important for second fermentation, where airtight storage is critical to maintaining the quality of the brew. Additionally, the 16 oz capacity is ideal for those who prefer smaller serving sizes or wish to brew in bulk.

Each swing top bottle is constructed from high-quality, durable glass. The amber color provides a layer of UV protection, shielding the contents from light exposure that could compromise the flavor or fermentation process. This makes them a preferred choice for kombucha brewers, who rely on this protection to maintain the balance of yeast and bacteria in their brews.

Swing Top Bottles for Various Applications

These 16 oz swing top bottles are versatile and can be used for a variety of beverages beyond kombucha and beer. They are well-suited for storing sodas, wines, juices, and even oils or syrups. The airtight seal ensures that each beverage or liquid remains fresh, making them an excellent choice for those looking to preserve the integrity of their products over time.

The swing top bottles are dishwasher safe, which simplifies the cleaning process. The removable wire tops make it easy to disassemble the bottle for thorough cleaning, ensuring hygiene standards are maintained for every use.

Material and Design

Manufactured from high-grade glass, these 16 oz swing top bottles are designed to withstand pressure and daily handling. The glass is thick enough to resist breakage, making the bottles suitable for repeated use. The flip-top closure consists of a stainless steel clamp and a thick rubber gasket, which provides a secure, airtight seal. This design prevents any leakage and ensures the contents remain fresh, even after prolonged storage.

The amber glass used in the bottles filters light effectively, which is crucial for beverages that are sensitive to light, such as beer and kombucha. Light can accelerate the spoilage process, and by using amber bottles, brewers can extend the shelf life of their products.

Bulk Orders and Customization

Our factory specializes in the production and wholesale distribution of swing top bottles. We offer bulk orders of these bottles, which are available at competitive prices. In addition to the standard 16 oz size, we also provide customization options for businesses looking to create a unique product. Customization services include silk-screen printing, hot stamping, frosting, spray painting, and the application of label stickers.

For larger orders, our factory provides flexible shipping solutions to accommodate tight deadlines. Whether you need a single batch or thousands of swing top bottles, we can handle orders of all sizes with efficiency and attention to detail.

Advantages of Swing Top Bottles for Homebrewing

Homebrewers and small-scale manufacturers benefit greatly from the use of swing top bottles. The airtight seal created by the flip-top closure ensures that the carbonation levels are maintained, which is essential for beverages like beer and kombucha. The ability to reuse these bottles makes them an eco-friendly choice for those who want to minimize waste.

Additionally, the 16 oz swing top bottles are perfect for bottling batches of up to two gallons. This is especially useful for kombucha brewers, who can use the bottles to store their beverages for secondary fermentation. The size of the bottles also makes them portable, allowing users to take their brews on the go without compromising quality.

How to Assemble Swing Top Bottles

Assembling the swing top mechanism is simple and efficient. Follow these steps:

Hold the cap by the metal lip.
Point the hooks towards the bottle.
Hook the cap onto the bottle’s dimples.
Let go of the cap, allowing it to fall to the side.
Place the rubber seal on top of the bottle opening.
Snap the cap back into place, ensuring a tight seal.

Once assembled, the swing top bottles are ready for immediate use. This design is user-friendly, making the bottling process faster and more efficient for home brewers and manufacturers alike.

500ml Amber Beer Bottles for Brewing

In addition to the 16 oz swing top bottles, we also manufacture 500ml amber beer bottles, which are ideal for homebrewing beer. These bottles offer the same airtight seal as the 16 oz version and are made from the same durable amber glass. The larger size is perfect for beer brewers who want to store their beverages in bulk, while the amber glass protects the beer from light exposure, maintaining its quality during storage.

Why choose our glass bottles?

1. Professional selection plan for glass bottle raw materials

The selection of raw materials for glass bottles is not generalized. Depending on the different uses of glass bottles, the choice of raw materials is also different.

Usually, for wine bottles, beer bottles, olive oil bottles, carboys, growlers, jugs and jars, we will choose soda-lime glass or flint glass (some people call it high grade white glass) according to customer requirements. Among them, soda-lime glass is strong and durable while also having the advantages of being economical and affordable, and is widely used in glass bottle manufacturing.

Perfume Bottles and Liquor Bottles & Spirit Bottles mostly use flint glass (aka high grade white glass) or Extra Flint Glass (also called super flint glass, Crystal White Material). Flint glass has better transparency than soda-lime glass, and this material is suitable for most common alcoholic beverages, such as vodka, whiskey, rum, etc. Because flint glass has sufficient transparency, it can well show the color of the liquor. In addition, it has good physical strength and is suitable for mass production. Most everyday liquor bottles are made from this type of glass. Some economical perfume bottles are also made from this material.

Extra Flint Glass has the highest transparency and is almost colorless. Due to its low iron content and high purity, it can show a pure and clear optical effect. Therefore, it is often used in high-end applications, such as high-end spirit bottles, luxury brand perfume bottles, etc.

Pursuing high-end materials without considering the purpose will make your product lose its market competitiveness. Similarly, it is not a wise choice to only pursue cost reduction so that the tonality of the product cannot match the brand temperament. Contact our customer service representatives, they will give you the most suitable product solution for you.
