500ml bottles

Hey folks,

I think I'm outgrowing Labatt's bottles. I'm looking for some 500ml crown cap bottles. Enough to keep 2 or 3 23L batches on the go, Between 80 and 100

Ideally they would all be the same type. I have a few Gahan/Picaroon type, but I also have a few of the taller Propeller type.

Is there a good place to find these, other than the NSLC?

Thanks,

-Matt

You could always try the bottle depot - I know guys have had luck with getting the grolsch flip tops there.

Or you could do what I did - buy the 500ml bottles full and enjoy them one at a time!

Is there a particular depot that is more hospitable? John Ross is just up the road, I may swing by later.

I called ahead to the depot (I used Tanners Bottle Depot) and I asked to get my name on the grolsh bottle list. It's $4/dozen and I ordered 12 dozen (I've done this twice now). They took my name and number then they contacted about a week later to let me know they had the bottles. Easy.

Awesome Fishdisease. The gal on the phone at John Ross said they didn't resell them, but the boys at Tanners were a treat to deal with. 5 dozen grolsch bottles are soaking in oxiclean as we speak.

Thanks!
