I am brewing some beer and need large Bintang ( or other similar ) bottles to use. I don't know how much resturants are paid on the return of bottles in order to offer a fair price. Does any one know? I will want maybe 50-75 bottles.
Sorry been away from the site for a couple of weeks. Yes that would be great. I am not back in Bali till 1st Feb if thats ok. I am happy to collect.Hey there, the Mrs has two crates of large empties of Bintang stacked up in my apartment in Denpasar from my last visit , just waiting a reply on the price (I’ve told her to charge you what local warung would offer, a couple of cheap warung feeds id imagine she’ll be happy). You could pick them up or she can deliver if your willing to pay fuel and in the tourist hub somewhere.
Update - 60 bottles 80,000
As she is up 3 flights of stairs it would be easier if you are fit and able if you can pick up, but something could still be worked out if you are interested.
Thanks PERtoDPS,Hi Metter
In the time that it took you to read and reply to this thread she'd already sold the bottles as we are moving next week. That said I'll be in Bali from 2nd February - till close to the end of February and I'll be staying in Sanur, I assure you within a week or two there will plenty more empty beer bottles for you to collect, I will bump this thread once I have a decent number of empties for you.
I'd love to know how the brewing process went here in the heat? I vaguely remember my childhood where the father did some beer brewing in a large plastic garbage can but that was in America and UK so much cooler climes. Any tips?
Did you find a place to get the kits here?Hi Markit,
For beer I use the coopers kits. Not had any trouble with the heat affecting the process. I make sure I check the SG to confirm brewing has finished. For something more alcopop I get the drink sachets and use 40 in a 19 litre galon with 1.5kg sugar and dried bread yeast or lager yeast. Works fine.
Happy to discuss further if your interested
No. I go back to Australia every 3rd month for work so bring back with me.Did you find a place to get the kits here?
