Blessed be the longneck drinkers...

[RegBadgery]

... for they provide me with a limitless supply of bottles. To everyone who likes a fosters or a VB, I say good on you - you're doing me proud.

cheers

Its handy isnt it?

My dad collects all the VB longnecks drunk by people at his units. Theyre 800ml bottles, and wash up fine. Every few weeks I go pick up 30 longnecks

My oath - I'm a regular prowling the streets on recycling night - following a good bleach soaking and rinse it's a great way to get a load of bright shiny new bottles - all ready to be filled with delicious beer.

cheers

If you want bottles, go down to your local RSL/Bowling club/Pub etc and bribe the barman...

I took him/her a couple of bottles of my finest, a few milk crates to put the empties and a promise to pick them up regulary.

It worked for me, but pick them up regulary, as most cellarman don't like dirty/old bottles lying around.
I had that many longies, I didn't know what to do with them. Correction, I made more beer.

If you find a good barman/cellarman, he may even give them a quick rinse for you too!!

I don't mean to make the thread make a left turn ...... but any difference with priming in the 800ml bottles opposed to the 750ml as far as the lollies or suger measure?

I just prime them as if theyre 750ml bottles. I dont mind if its slightly undercarbonated (50ml difference isnt much).

Bulk prime and there's not one iota of difference
