Subject: What to do with thousands of clean empty beer bottles?
|
So it is moving day and I just remembered that our office walls is
actually constructed out of milk crated & wood crates filled with empty
but originally rinsed beer bottles, (labels still on). These crates was
stacked to make office walls, wrapped with plastic lined insulation on
both sides to make a 2' thick quite nice soundproof wall in a warehouse
that even passed a building inspection. So we now have @ a 50 wide x
10' high wall of thousands of beer bottles to dump.
Any ideas?

We are in Tampa Bay Florida and yes I would be glad for someone to come
and get them. They can have all the milk crates were the bottles are
stored in as well : )

Hi,
These are mostly Samuel Adams, some green Ausseie bottles, and brown
bottles. We'll starting to take the place apart tomorrow I will know by
then. It just seem a pity to dump them all in a dumpster but there is
surely where it all is going to end up :(

Well, at least recycle the glass if they can't be used for brewing.

I doubt they could withstand the pressures of carbonation, or that you
could cap them, but they might be useful to some. How old are these
bottles?

Why won't they be able to stand carbonation and pressure? They're beer
bottles designed specifically for that purpose.
On a visit to a remote outback deserted township I retrieved some 80+ year
old beer bottles and after cleaning them, filled them with homebrew - not a
problem at all. Old beer bottles have glass at least twice as thick as
present bottles.

My bad. Somehow all this registered as milk bottles.
Are these any different than today's beer bottles? Would they be
worth anything as antiques?

Where are you located? There may be quite a few homebrewers willing to
help you "dump" those bottles.
