Where to get containers?

Post by Zxlork »

I can go to my local brew shop and get the 1 gallon glass milk jug looking containers($10 each/very expensive). However, I seem to find more and more need to open 1 gallon jars at a RESONABLE price. Have any of you have luck ordering them online? I found a place with resonable prices and wondered if anyone has had any experiences with them or any other place. I am also running out of 750ml bottles very quickly too.

http://www.sunburstbottle.com/specials-tab?search=750" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow $15 for 12 bottles

the previous also carries gallon bottles but they charge more...but do carry amber bottles!

Find the local recycling center and offer them $1 a piece to save them for you. Or let you look thru their sorted stuff. They get next to nothing for the glass.

For $1, they'll be your new best friend. And you'll be donating to a good cause.

Here check this place out. It's my local HB shop. 1 gal jugs $4.88 each. Their bottles are reasonable for a HB shop.
