Looking for Belgian ale bottles

jjbuck · Post by **jjbuck** » Sun Nov 08, 2009 10:02 am

I need 9 750ml Belgian ale or champagne bottles. I want to bottle a tripel and don't want half in a keg and half in bottles. There is a bottle of "Strict Observance Tripel" in it for you if I can get them by next Saturday
Thanks
JB

I’ve got 4 Belgium style brown beer bottles (two of which I'll open with in the week) and another bottle that was from an Italian Asti. I will call my dad to see if he has any extra champagne bottles(he makes wine) and let you know. I might have a couple more I would just have to dig around for them.

I probably have 6 - 8 of them kicking around in my basement. You are welcome to them. I will check tonight and get back to you tomorrow.

I have 5 brown bottles and 3 green bottles. If you want help help bottling/kegging on Saturday I would love to help/learn more about the whole kegging process and possibly get some more tips on homebrewing.

Thanks,

Kurt

I'm not sure the tripel will be done by Sat. I may have created a monster. After 23 days 17 in the secondary, the batch still bubbles out the lock every 2-3 seconds.
You are welcome to come over on Sunday at about 1:00 in any case. I always have a cool one or two in the fridge.

I just read your forum about tips on your triple, I agree with him that you might be making some bottle bombs if you bottle too early. I've seen the same style process/problems with wine pushing the corks out and exploding everywhere. Sunday around 1:00 should work for me, like I said previously I would love to help anyone out and to learn more tips and tricks about brewing.
