Re: [mnbrewers] Finding equipment in the Minneapolis area - mba

A good source of ~25 oz champagne bottles is to contact hotels and
ballrooms that host wedding receptions. I've had success in the past in
contacting them on a Saturday afternoon and asking them to save a case or
two of empties that I could pick up on Sunday morning. Some of these may
also have the buckets you are looking for.

New bottles aren't MUCH more.  But...
I guess I'd talk to "decent" liquor store.  You'll probably be able to
get
a
used case of returnable bottles for close to cost.  Good luck!

  I'm actually interested in picking up used
bottles, if that is at all
 advised.

 Any of the local homebrewing shops will help, but I am forwarding this
 to
 the list which many local homebrewers subscribe to, for more
 information.
