Not exactly a bulk buy, but I'm looking for a few fellow local home brewers to join in on a 'group buy' at Plasdene in Preston (VIC). Plasdene will only sell to the public if you spend a minimum of $120...and I'm only looking to buy about $40 worth of 500ml craft beer bottles.
You can see their range of products here: http://www.plasdene.com.au/category, basically they do bottles, fermenters, cubes, jars for yeast storage, crown seals, heaps of other stuff. I just don't need $120 worth at the moment.
Prices for bottles aren't exactly mind blowing, unless you're buying 1,000 of 'em. Last time I asked, in small volumes 330ml bottles were around 30c each (in packs of 12), and 500ml bottles were around 70c each (packs of 15). They also have 640ml bottles (that's the largest bottle IIRC).
Prices on other stuff looked pretty good, 20 litre and 25l HDPE cubes were about $8.50 & $10 respectively, 30 litre fermenters were about $12, 60l versions under $25.
If anyone's interested in stocking up, PM me and I'll see if we can get a few of us together, with the idea that we all meet down there on a Saturday morning, grab whatever we need and put it all through as one transaction to meet the $120 min.
