This is another one of those times when letting eveyone know where you hail from may benefit you...trek87654 said:Hey all, I just joined this site and new to home brewing but very excited about the hobby. Does anyone know where to buy bottles in bulk? Looking to reduce per bottle cost through buying in bulk. Any advise would help! Thanks.

Last year I sold almost 100 Grolsch bottles and gave the guy 8 cases (almost 200) more 12 oz bottles for the hell of it just because he was fairly close by.
OxiClean in hot water works well, especially after a soak for an hour or so. Most of the thicker labels will peel off easily in one piece--then soak them a few minutes longer and go back with a brush to get the remaining glue off of the bottles. Be careful--the OxiClean solution is hell on your skin. I used 1 scoop to 5 gallons of hot water and got good results. Next time, I'll use less OxiClean.trek87654 said:great info thank! i'm gonna go check craigslist
another related question.... do you have any tricks of the trade for removing labels or is it just some soap, water, and a little elbow grease to scrub off the glue?

Say Houston, Austin or somewhere in between, and I have two cases+ coming your way.
