Lookin for your used grolsch bottles. If you're a big grolsch drinker, or you have some laying around, let me know. Need them to bottle up some homebrew
Oh, and they have to be the swing-top kind.

go to american brewmaster and buy a bottle capper and come un-crimped crowns. then you can recap any standard non-twist off with mush better result. a capper is around 15 and crowns are like 3 bucks for a gross. 6/24/2007 4:19:01 PM |

^^^ I can only hope you were making an ironic reference to my username. I'm definitely not a southerner.
i haven't had any trouble with the swing-tops, and not only do i like the pint size, but it isn't as wasteful with the caps, and it's easier then doing caps. 6/25/2007 12:45:51 AM |

I loaned my previous neighbor about 20 of these for the same purpose.
After a year, he gave them back, reporting that regular plastic soda bottles sealed more tightly.
The batches he made with Grolsch bottles were all "too unfiltered" tasting--mild contamination or something. I tasted most batches and he seemed to be telling the truth.
If you still want them, make an offer.
Unrelated issue: anyone remember when the stopper tops were porcelain? They were porcelain at one time, weren't they? (they're all plastic now) I remember using one as a roach holder a long time ago--I'm pretty sure it was porcelain and not plastic. 6/25/2007 9:11:41 AM |

Couple of interesting things about this thread...

yup, they were and some still are.
and furthermore:

sign up for their dealio, it's worth it. Buy some "growlers" or "flip-top bottles" (preferably opaque) -AKA: Grolsh Bottles. Brewmaster had a special on a case of them last week/week before for cheap. Something like 25 bucks. I think they have the rubber tops though...
Having just bottled Fallen Angel Strong Pale last night, I'm pretty psyched! (Oh, btw, we used 12 oz. bottles with caps).7/31/2007 12:43:32 PM |

thats still two dollars a bottle though. i'm just lookin for some cheap ass bottles; if i can save 25 bucks by getting used and branded ghetto bottles, i can brew an extra batch 7/31/2007 9:08:16 PM |
