The Coopers kit comes with 30 740ml PET (plastic) brown bottles with screw tops. Actually, they're better quality than they look and not too flimsy. I prime the bottles each with 2 of the supplied "carbonation drops" (sugar tablets basically) and fill each bottle with the beer from the fermenter using the supplied "little bottler" which is really easy to use. I leave about an inch of headspace at the top of each bottle as recommended to help with the carbonation that the sugar will create.
After the bottles are filled I store all 30 of them on a spare shelf in the airing cupboard which has a small heater in the bottom so I can maintain a constant temperature over 18 degrees Celsius.
