I don't understand... can someone explain to me why anybody would ever purchase bottles? Is there an advantage to purchased bottles over bottles you get when you buy a six pack at the package store?
I don't normally bottle my beer (this is actually my first time ever). But, my sister in law wants a few batches in bottles for her wedding so I agreed to bottle some. I am doing it in 22oz bottles and instead of purchasing them for about $15 dollars a case, I bought them from the local packy for 5 cents per bottle (the bottle deposit). I don't get why you would pay over $1 per bottle when you can get them so cheap? It can't really be because the labels are on the used bottles can it? I assume it isn't because you have to clean them, because I also assume that nobody buys new bottles for every batch. Hhmmmm?
