There are about a million posts about where to obtain bottles for brewing, so I thought I'd start a sticky on the subject.
Here are some ideas about where to obtain bottles that spring to my mind:
- Buy full bottles and drink the beer.
- Local sporting clubs.
- Buy new, empty bottles.
- Post a message on homebrewandbeer.com/forum asking for donations of bottles
- Get your mates to keep bottles for you after they've drunk the contents.
- Function centres.
- Pubs.
- Other community clubs (Geoff and I obtained the 500ml bottles for the Millennium Ale from the Czech Club here in Melbourne; we dropped off a few crates then collected them a couple of days later full of empty Kozel bottles).
Other ideas?
Cheers,
Oliver
