storing home brew, vials and stoppers?

[biggerbird]

i'm planning to buy vials, seals and stoppers but wondered if thats what is commonly used or if I should store in something else.

If so, do I need to buy the crimping tool? its pretty expensive. if i don't get it, will i still be able to make an effective seal?

Buy the stuff sealed...is the best way in my opinion.

Buying the sealed sterile viles is definitely the way to go. I got some from another place, but the link posted by Espiros has many more products.

hmmm, thanks for the feedback. I wasn't thinking i could go that route.

but if the vials are sealed, how do i get my brew in them?? draw it into a syringe from the beaker and then penetrate and fill up the sealed vile?

yes, but don not forget to use another needle on the top so the air comes up while you injecting the oil....this needle do not need to go all the way in...just enough so the air has a way to go out..
