where do people get bottles for home brewing beer?
what are they made of?
if they are glass how do u put the caps on?
and any other info?
You need glass bottles that use the pry style caps, the twist top kind are thinner and can explode. You can buy them at home brewing stores or save up your empties if you drink enough beer that comes in those bottles. Home brewing stores sell new caps and the tool that crimps them on.

You can buy bottles that either have a wire bail closure or with caps that you put on with a device.
However, any bottle that once contained a carbonated beverage will work, e.g. soda bottles.

Your best bet is to go to a beer distributor, who will sell you cases for the cost of deposit. Cleanup is tough; the bottles can be pretty gross. You can get bottle caps from wherever you get your supplies and equipment and equipment kits all contain cappers.
Just be sure to get the returnable glass bottles.
