Here is a pic i have been trying to post. These make bottling day a breeze with way less hassles for washing and capping. There are other screw top ones around also. Essentially any large bottles will make your bottling day easier though.Brewnut said:A bit of shameless self promotion but I like my 2 litre swing top growlers for bottling in.
I normally keg and then put the leftover amounts into the growlers so they are easily transported to BBQ and parties.
As long as there are bars in South/West Auckland, there will always be swappa crates. :lol:In Nu Zeelund the swappa crates (12x 750ml) are still in enough demand that we homebrewers can go in and pick them up for $5 (albeit full of spit/dregs/smokes and mould) leave them in the bathtub at 1 million degrees (actual temp may differ) with napisan to clean the buggers out.
I've heard previously that some of the old Pickaxe bottles are actually worth some money as collectibles. Could be a nice score.scon said:I bought 500 x 750mL Pickaxe branded bottles from a deceased estate a couple months ago for $150. My station wagon was so laden with bottles that I had to move both the driver and passenger's seat forward and were getting people staring at me all the way from Sydney to Canberra. I'd like to eventually fill the lot but I don't think that'll happen. They're awesome bottles and make Coopers crownies feel flimsy in comparison.
