That's what I've found useful also. That way you don't have a problem
with headspace, except perhaps for the smallest container, and if you
top up with water, when you add it all back together, you won't have
diluted the batch much. You can get rubber stoppers to fit about any
size milk bottle.

You can find these in antique stores and sometimes thrift shops.

You can also keep an eye out for other glass containers that might be
a useful size, as long as it has a smooth inside and can be easily
cleaned and sanitized. Also beer and wine bottles of various sizes,
some glass food containers that hold condiments could work for the
very small amounts if you want to bother keeping all you can. Get them
now before everything is made of plastic.
