#1 thats awesome

i have 7's delivered at home (live in DC, not interested in drinking the water that has mutated the fish in the rivers into bi-sexuals)

i'm not very well versed on the perils of plastic, anyone read about drinking (normal water, that is) out of 7s? More importantly, sometimes i use this water to brew, home i'm not getting too much bleeding in the water.

I've got family in Ohio...What do you suppose it would cost to mail a jug...It would probably be nearly as costly as just buying a glass Carboy.

If you find out...just ask. The deposit is $5.00

You should look around. The 1s are becoming more popular these days. Check with some office building around town, or call a water distributor and see if they use the good jugs. Odds are they will sell you a bottle, but if not, at least you know if there are some floating around town.

We got the good ones here and the deposit is only $4 each.

I might not be reading that right, but I want to make sure you know that a 7 is NOT RECOMMENDED for use. The picture was to show you the logo, but you really want a #1 in the middle of those arrows.

Me too, got a 3 gallon #1 PETE bottle at Lowes for $5.

I live in Northern VA, the bottle looks identical to the original poster, but had a different brand label on there. I will have to check out the 5G ones to see if they are also #1.

Drank the water and made apfelwein .
