Where can I buy new crown cap glass bottles for home brew in NZ?

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can buy new glass standard size bottles in NZ? I realize I can reuse commercial bottles but I prefer to have a nice standard look  and don't care much for seeing Heineken printed on my home brew :-)

I can't seem to fine them anywhere. Only flip tops.

Thanks.

I use Macs bottles, labels removed, cleaned and sterilized (330ml).  I've got a couple of hundred.

I also reuse the 500ml single bottles I pick up from time to time.  

What size are you after? You can get 500ml here...80c each though.

I think they also trade under the name bunny602 on trademe, I could be wrong.

I'm in christchurch and picked mine up from harringtons, they're happy to sell the in the boxes brand new unused, they have worked well so far. bought 10 dozen and it seems to be enough, plus the singles i pick up like vincent said, and some little 330ml bottles

Wonderful, thanks so much. Looking for 330ml as well but 500 will certainly do. That must have been the only home brew store I haven't checked. Thanks so much.
at a long shot, phone ACI glass in auckland, or S******* packaging. they have stacks and stacks of bottles (did 10 years ago, anyway) and might shuffle some out the back door for you...

Hi there John,

We got a lot of ours from the local craft pub that uses a lot of bottles. They were really cool and saved certain types (like Emerson, or 8 wired ones) and a soak overnight and a metal scrubbie and they looked like new.

Whereabouts are you in the country?

I would love to know if there is anywhere out there I can buy 750ml crown top bottles? I bottle exclusively into 500ml craft beer bottles, but would love to bottle a few single 750ml for each batch to use as gifts. I dont want Quart bottles, nor the swing top 750ml bottles that are out there....anyone know where I can find some? Cheers!

Sometimes you can get them on trademe Mark
