For those of us that bottle... I was wondering how many do you all have? I have about 125 bottles.
 
24 flip top 1 liters bottles, from now on I think I'll just get the regular 1 liter bottles and use caps. I also have 6 12oz bottles that are capable, its hard finding bottles that aren't twist off.
 
I list track a long time ago. I know I have about 60 flip-tops and a couple of champaigne (sp?) bottles.

The rest (maybe 400 total?) are all recycled commercial beer bottles ranging from 12 to 22 oz in size, stacked in boxes in the garage.

Oh.. and this doesn't count the clear glass bottles (newcastles and sammy smiths) that I keep around 'just in case'. There are probably 24 sammys and maybe 3 cases worth of newcastles. I'll probably throw those away soon since I never seem to use them at all.

I have about 24 22-oz. bottles and about 216 12-oz. (9 cases).

Edit - not 216 24-oz. bottles... clumsy typing!
 
Howdy Ya'll,
I have about 6-7-800 bottles.
15 plastic milk crates with 25- 12 ouncers {green}
or... 16- 22 ouncers {brown}
each...
+ misc.
22oz brown Guiness bottles
22oz green Heinekin
and I really like the 12 oz Grolsch bottles with the spring caps.

Now, when I drink store bought beer and ale,
I can't help de-labeling them and saving them.
It has become a habit.

Her: Too many.
Me: must keep hunting.

I'd guess about 250 or so, mostly 330 ml, although I've been consciously buying 500mls bottles where possible. It's gotten to the stage where I am starting to dump the green ones now!

But here's the kicker. I'm taking a year off work next year to go travelling the world, and will need somewhere to store them all! grrrrr.
 
Not really certain, but a rough guess would be about 23 cases of 0,5 liters (about 460 bottles more or less), 8 cases of 12 oz (around 200), and about 3 cases of 22 oz (about 30-36 really), then I have about 18 - 5 liter kegs. :D

No, they're not all filled, but they are sanitized and ready to go. :D
 
I have 24 650ml bottles, maybe 20 330ml bottles including some clear newcastle and bavaria bottles, so I can admire the color while I'm waiting, and some guiness bottles with the widgets for my stout(which was a waste of time).
 
At this time I have:
5 5-gallon cornys (best bottle over all)
2 3-gallon cornys (best growler ever made)
12 1.5L Grolsch bottles
48 24 oz.
48 16 oz.
40 16 oz. fliptop
35 12 oz. fliptop
100+ 12oz.

No matter how much I keg, I always seem to bottle a few for stashing.

I'm just plain bottle poor. :( I've only got 2 cases of 22 oz and an assortment of 500-550ml bottles totaling about 15 or so. I've got 3 corneys now so I'll only be bottleing those brews that need aging. I'll go ahead an pick up a case of 12 oz for competition bottles.
