Melbourne - Cheap Crown Seal Bottles

[Velophile]

I have a large number of crown seal bottles availble for Melbourne homebrewers.

A family member has the task of cleaning out a store room. There are two pallets of impoted beer, well out of date. The beer might not poison you but I wouldn't drink it.

I'll swap either one bottle of your best homebrew or Coopers Stout for a couple of dozen bottles. BYO crates if possible as some of the boxes are damp.

Update - 21/06/07

I have more of these beasties available in sunny downtown Northcote.

What size bottles are they?

What size bottles are they?

They are marked as "65cl" so I guess 650ml.

They do look bigger & I first thought they were at least 750ml.

That kinda answers the next question, I think - that of thickness (the bottles, that is).

If the Coopers 750ml bottles are the Home Brewers' Standard, would you reckon these are thicker or not?

They feel fairly thick. Thicker than the CUB 800ml types. I can drop you a sample if you like.

Yeah, it's about time we had a beer...

I can vouch for the bottles being nice, thick and sturdy ala coopers. sadly 650ml though. but still good bottles.

 

[glitchpop]

sounds like a great offer. Unfortunately for me I havn't started brewing yet.

 

[brettprevans]

if Velophile still has any, why would you let that stop you???? so what if you havent started brewing, if your going to start this just helps you get ready to go. Get what you can when you can in order to be prepared. I havent started all grain brewing but im getting bits and pieces together to help me get ready. PM Velophile and see.
