Best (cheapest) place for swappas?

Beats me - I pulled them out from under my late grandmothers house about 18 years ago... and god knows how long they had been there before then...

I've always meant to do something with them...

I asked the wife (who works in recycling, specifically glass) how much they were worth, she says somewhere in the region of a quarter of a cent... mind you, that's recycling value!

a pissed parrot told me that they don't produce any more of the quart bottles, they rely on the swap backs to get the bottles back for cleaning and refilling.

Every time a bottle gets smashed or thrown away there is one less in circulation.

I must admit I buy my beer from the supermarket, so cans, stubbies and imported beers in glass are the go.

I'm pretty sure the quart bottles are still made.

Anyway, here's a thread with some pictures of beer bottles being made:

almost to the celing in our kitchen, a continuously recirculating supply of home brew. I had a crack at lining up 12 empties on the bench today, but the missus keeps washing em, and I am not hard enough to out pace her
I have also found some crown cap stubbies that can handle home brew too.

lately I have scored a crate of empties a week from different jobs I've been to.
I have bottles from ther last 6 decades still in use, nothing like drinking beer from an antique bottle.

uh, I just go for the supermarket kits, ale, lager, or sometimes bitter for me. follow the instructions to the letter, and it turns out fine. clenliness is cruiciel, I bleach eveything, and have made a bottlewasher adaptor for the dishwasher. You can raise the % by adding more sugar but it comes with a headache I have tried coopers and lion kits, with good results, and am about to try a brewtec ale, I currently have a coopers lager brewing, which i like very much
