Good deal!

I guess that would depend on how good the beer was.I figure if I don't have to clean the bottles and a 4 pack is all it costs me to get 48 empties ready to go, I'm definitely on a winner
AND they know only brown and non screw tops.
Twist tops work fine with a bench capper especially for that 6 pack to take to a party so you don't care and have fun!!
When you bottle a 6 pack from each batch to see how they are tasting before competition time!
Forget the six pack...
Portable kegerator on wheels is where it's at... That's 64 bottles for a REAL party.
I'm in the process of building one now. I got the cooler and two 3 gallon kegs. I just need to get hoses, faucets, shanks, and a paintball CO2...
did the jocky box method but this is my go to now!

i dont bother with the small co2 set-ups.. i just use a 2.5 lb cylinder with a micro regulator! works great!

I usually trade full wine bottles 1:2 for empties. That's from people I know buy really good wine though, so the bottles are nicer then what I'm giving them the wine in.
I live in an apartment...I brewed a winter warmer Saturday and it is fermenting away right now, it's 55 out and the window is open with a fan blowing in to get the temp into the 60s. My wife is in a sweatshirt and under a blanket but fine with it because of the reason...
Wow, no kidding. A full days drive would be a bit much to pick up bottles though. :fro:Too bad you're not closer to me. My girlfriend's dad collects wine (over 350 bottles in the basement) and her mom drinks it (over 350 bottles in the recycling bin weekly) If I ever needed wine bottles, I got a source...

30-40 bottles in a weekend is a lot of wine. It's a wonder they don't have jaundice already. Makes me think of the book "A Farewell to Arms"...
You fail to rack cider to the last empty 1 gallon jug before starting a batch of JAOM and now have no place to rack the cider.
Insert racking tube into mouth... begin siphon/racking to "internal storage tank".
When your wife explains the difference in crush vs. efficiency % to a couple of guys who had it wrong
Did she take them over to his house after work? Just bottles.....Leadgolem said:I guess that would depend on how good the beer was. I usually trade full wine bottles 1:2 for empties.

Hahahaha! Yup.You've ever uttered the phrase "C'mon yeasties! Wakey, wakey!"

After pouring a bottle of commercial beer...you look into the bottom of the bottle to see if there is any yeast to propagate.

Glad that came out ok for you. I know how much it sucks to throw out a batch, especially when you can't afford to brew another....when you just can't give up on an infected batch & try some new wild ideas to save it. Then Sunday comes along & God works his magic & it's good! Heating some water for the priming solution now...:rockin:

I watched brew master on netflix last night. Watching dogfish head dump 400 barrels of 120min IPA worth a retail of half a million dollars was painful.
