does anyone know any cheap sources of bottles, like recyclers and such. Paying $1 a bottle sort of defeats the purpose of home brewing and at current rate of production, im going to run out very soon.

I bet yer local tavern owner will have stacks of bottles that he want's to get rid of.

I have a few hundred old thick crown seal (pre twist top) type bottles which were designed for multiple use. Modern beer bottles are very thin and designed to be used once only. I dont use these bottles anymore since I switched to 1.25l PET soft drink bottles. I drink my brew fairly quickly.

You could have them but transporting them to across the continent would make them a bit expensive.

Are you east or west coast north or south - always looking for quality bottles
Do you keep your PET bottled beers in the dark?

Nth coast NSW - south of Grafton.

No - They dont last long enough to be affected by sunlight.
