TIL Craigslist is for WINNERS.

random 1st time browsing CL in my girlfriends hometown. (2.5 hours from where i live.) find this guy with a list of a crap ton of bottles and drying tree for 50 bucks. So i say what the hell, worst case scenario i end up with a drying tree. So I shoot him a msg, and this is what I picked up last weekend. just priced everything out retail (roughly, some dont have retail value). But i just about shat myself and had to tell someone who would care

Better get brewing, so you can fill those up.

By bottle rinser,are you meaning the jet rinser for the faucet? And we'd def like to see examples of those bottles. especially the out of production ones...

Really awesome score. I scan the local listings daily myself hoping for something similar. Congrats.

I hate you a little bit...

Just a little.

(Nice find.)

That is amazeballs!

Hey thanks guys! Time to make a HUGE RIS or doppelbock and bottle condition the crap out of them probably throw some mead and rice wince into the mix as well. I think the bottles im most excited about are the 1.5L's and the 6.5oz champagne bottles. really unique and tough to find.

-by bottle washer i mean the attachment for the top of the bottle tree for sanitizing. already have the $5.00 hose/faucet deal.
