For the ppl in Austin/S.A. (and where ever there is a Whole Foods Market)
did you know that the juice bar there uses apple juice in gallon glass
bottles to make their frozen drinks? Do you know what they do with them
when they are empty? They re-cycle them. On a whim I went there yesterday
to get my wife a frozen drink to ease her sore throat, and noticed that they
had an empty bottle.... to make a long story short... I walked out with 2
1 gallon jugs. Might be worth stopping in if you want to do gallon batches,
and you are in the neighborhood. Also, they sell water in 5 gallon glass
bottles. The water is $11 with a $6 deposit on the bottle. I am not sure
what the going price for bottled water is now, but the way I look at this is
that St Pats sells the carboys for about $15. For an extra $2 you can get
it filled with water!! Not a bad deal I think. You might even be able to
catch one on the return and pick it up for the $6 deposit. If you do...
pick one up for me :)

Not a Fancy Catalogue, but as they say on their home page, they like to keep
costs down to give you a better bargain. The prices are not too bad, and
the free shipping may make this the best deal on the net, if you can get
around their site.

- This site has the worst colors I have seen in a while, and is really a bad
place to look at. I couldn't get past the home page, but with a name like
they have, I could not resist adding it to the list, just so some fun-loving
scotsman could say they get their brewsupplies from the highlands.... :)
- http://www.homebrewshop.com/
- Very well organized site, a pleasure to look at and browse around, not too
bad on the prices, but I have seen better. Not too bad on selection, but I
have seen better. They have some things that I didn't see anywhere else,
but overall.... I have seen better
