170 Bottles of beer on the wall.

Just finished bottling up the 4th batch of beer I've done in the last couple of weeks. This brings my grand total of bottles of beer to 170+, I still have another batch but ran out of bottles so I need to wait until something is conditioned and than have some friends over. All though it just seems like my pipe line should be bigger, is this just part of the home brew bug where no mater how much beer you have it just doesn't seem like enough? All and all though this first year of home brewing has been fantastic, big thanks to everyone on this forum for the help and patience with us newbies. Cheers.

The real question to ask yourself is-hording or don't drink much?

Lol probably the first one, I ran completely dry over the summer and think it emotionally traumatized me into never running out of beer again. Maybe I should get into beerapy : P

Post to craiglist that you're in need of bottles. I got a couple of responses in the matter of a day or two and now have a collection of about 13 cases of clean bottles-- all for free!

Now I just need to brew and fill them up!!

How I envy American brewers, I would never have such luck here in the east coast of Canada. Most people think their garbage is worth its weight in gold. We generally use kijiji here instead of craigslist. Most people want roughly a $1 a bottle, even if they are old stubies, plastic screw tops or grolsche. The only luck I get is when I go to the bottle depot and they have a few decent grolsche bottles that can be cleaned up.
