Nsw Ahb Xmas In July Case

[Gerard_M]

If anyone is looking for longnecks, maybe there will be some empties left over after the judging at the Castle Hill comp!
Just a thought.

oops
You are right KoNG. I didnt mean any offense by my post, but re-reading it, it may be taken to offense. Should know better than that, duly reprimanded. I will edit it to put the funny faces in that didnt work, that'll take the edge off it

I am up for 28 and thanks guys for letting me in on this if some one is really stuck I just got my keg set up so I could thin out my bottles a bit also got loads of those coopers pastic bottles

...those coopers pastic bottles

Good point sintax69, if anybody's in a real bind, you can get these from Big W for bugger all. You'll have your 28 bottles (with 2 spares) for around $25. Personally I would go with the glass ones if possible, but the PET bottles are a good backup plan.

 

[DrewCarey82]

Thats a bit harsh those who give away longnecks and then get back plastic ones!

 

[homebrewworld.com]

Why ? <_<

 

[DrewCarey82]

Because, stubbies are easy to get longnecks are a heck of a lot harder to replace.

But I guess if its only 4-5 for people who cant get hold of them easy its no biggy.

 

[Bobby]

it is not hard to get longnecks. dead easy. even easier to get champas bottles.

 

[DrewCarey82]

Anyones got mates who drink stubbies and can get them.

Longies are another thing.

 

[T.D.]

Unless I've missed something, I don't think anybody here is talking about including stubbies in the case - the PET bottles are 750ml, they are just PET instead of glass. All I was saying is that if people struggle to gather up enough longnecks before the case swap there's always the Coopers PET bottles from Big W as a fall-back plan.

 

[DrewCarey82]

Yeah I know, I was just making the point after someone said that longnecks are easy to get that they are not

 

[Samwise Gamgee]

Coopers is readily available in longnecks.................go buy a few and drink them..........keep the bottles............you now have obtained longnecks ..........easy

 

[Bobby]

the new coopers bottles are sweet!! they are pick axe style - as discussed in another thread.

 

[KoNG]

OK i've started a nightmare...
it's fine peoples, i will easily find some longnecks in the time before i need to bottle my case.

I know a guy who lives under the bridge on the way to work, he always has one... i'll hit him up for them at 20c a pop.

 

[Samwise Gamgee]

hahahah

Kong, i might have a half dozen bottles you can have, i'll check and get back to you. Beware, they are farken filthy with shite growing inside but they are very good bottles, nothing a good soak and scrub won't fix.

 

[KoNG]

Cheers Sam,
that sounds good, that way if something goes wrong with my july case brew.. i can blame you and your skanky bottles...!

 

[Weizguy]

Free Offer:

If anyone's really desperate, I can get plenty of 800ml empty VB longys.

I'll get my contact to start saving them. He empties about a million each week. :chug:
It won't take long.

Gimme a pm, and organise to collect, when he has saved enough.

Could prob supply the entire 28 cases by July. :lol:

hahaha :lol: i can see the reviews of your brew now! " Before KoNG's bottle was even opened i saw the sediment move as a whole around the bottle.........then it looked at me :blink: then and there i knew this would be an interesting brew"

I probably have a half dozen empty longnecks rattling round the back of my car if i get short .

 

[shmick]

Will anybody have trouble with fermentor size for a 28 bottle batch?

I lose a few litres in primary/secondary/bottling transfers so I'll be sailing pretty close to capacity headspace wise.

Might be fitting a blow-off tube for this one.

ATM I'm leaning towards an ESB for this case.
