There's no "chocolate" in dark chocolate malt, right? Just wanna make sure because I want to make spent grain dog biscuits and dogs can't have chocolate. Anyone?

Hi, Does anyone know where I can find plastic bottle crates that will hold 1/2 liter and full liter flip-top bottles? Something like what you would find in a German beer store if you bought a case of half liters. Thanks!
