I also do that, however to get a quick stash of bottle, Phil charges about $50 for 200 stubbies, cleaned and delabelled. I think it is good value. Each to their own. Geoff

Phil on ebay sells bottltes, his prices are very reasonable. Just do a search on ebay for beer bottles etc. He is in Cranbourne. His user name is thebottlebloke Cheers Geoff

Hi All, If I am adding hops to my beers, is it OK to bottle them in clear stubbies?

Hi All, I bottled a batch last week, when they bottled i was surprised how clear they turned out. After a week there seems to be a haze in the beer, looks like heaps of minute bubbles/specs in the beer. They sort of look like they are clinginging to the side wall of the stubbie. This is also...

:D Because now my K&K beer tastes so much better, i dont know what to do with my old brews that taste ordinary. Thanks everyone for all the little tips. Geoff

Thanks for the replies to my original post. I will give a couple a try soon. Cheers geoff

Hi All, Any one had any luck doing a James Squire Golden Ale K&K clone. I am willing to give extra grain and hops a whirl. I would be interested in hearing any recipes. Cheers Geoff :lol:

I tipped mine because the smell was so off i just could not see it getting any better and i would have doubts ever time i had a stubbie. I was dissapointed in cascade, but have not given up hope. I have done a porter, spicy ghost and imperial voyage. Sampled porter tonight after a week in...

I need an automated bottle washer that delabels, gets the growths out of the inside, cleans and sterilises. Can Jonathon help with a design please. Geoff

Hi All, I also find that if i do buy beer, its always in a stubbie now, never a can. You cant use cans for your home brews! Geoff

Hi Guys, A little bit off topic, 10 days ago i bottled a Coopers draught and for something different i carbed 6 bottles with a similar amount of honey to the amount of sugar that would be normally used. They carbed up very nicely in one week, tried a normal sugar carbed bottle and it had minor...

Hi All, Well after all the time, the beer in the fermenter smells like S?!T, so i have decided to tip it. I took a sample to the local HBS, he said it was the fusel alcohols or something along those lines, and it was not going to get better. I couldnt image cleaning 50 stubbies again, so out...

Hi BYB, how much gelatine do you use? Geoff

Hi Guys, Some of you guys seem to be doing some scarey stuff with Lp gas. Where possible try to use natural gas, it is much safer and when burners are converted correctly you shouldnt see any difference in performance. Some useful hints: When using burners in a garage make sure they are at...

Thanks all for your help, it is all starting to make some sense. Geoff
