4 Liter bottles

I won't give mine away but I can tell you were I got them. The local recycling center, look for Carlo Rossi 4L jugs. Very nice jugs. They take easily localed screw top lids, good for bulk aging.

I also have a bunch of those -- and found that the screwcaps from Clorox bleach (of which I use a lot) fit perfectly.

I got mine from two places: the local homebrew shop (you may have to special order) and the grocery store (a local orchard sells apple juice in 4 litre bottles/carboys and the juice has no preservatives in it...) Ken

The apple cider I buy comes in 1 gallon glass jugs. So you can go to the grocery store, buy a gallon of apple cider for 4 bucks. Drink the cider, or ferment it like I do and save the jug.

I buy Murray's.

There is always ebay too...

Bart:

The Clorox bottles wind up full of waste motor oil for the recycling center. But now I'll trade out the tops before they go.

Thanks for the great tip, I didn't even think about that!
