Title: Beer Crate Swap
Post by: Jonnycheech on March 07, 2014, 11:59:37 PM
Hi all,

I have some 20 bottle crates that I am looking to swap for 12 bottle crates. The reason I want a swap is because the 20 bottle crates do not fit the stouter, excuse the pun, bottles. They fit many of the commercial bottles such as O Hara's, Fullers, etc. I have 4 or 5 that I would like to swap and they are in great condition.

Anyone interested?

Will they fit standard fliptops? what part of the country are you in?

I'm not sure about the standard fliptops, I don't actually have any. What are they similar in size to? O Hara's?

Yeah, I have a few of the 12s that could be swapped, probably 4 cause I need the others for big bottles. Where are you?

Yup, i think so. a little fatter than those slim fuller bottles.
I have 25 X 12 bottle crates i can swap for the 20. They fit all bottles, even magnums and 1 liter fliptops.
I suppose it all depends on what part of the country you're in.

Sorry Delzep, just looking for a swap.

Thanks Snuff and LordEoin. I'm near Dublin city centre on the north side, where are you guys based? I have a car so I can travel if your  nearish to Dublin.

Bumping this thread incase people missed it originally. I'm still looking to get sorted. I'll even swap 5x20 bottle crates for 4x12 bottle crates to make it more appealing, any takers?

Hi Johnny Cheech

How high are the 20 bottle crates? Will they hold 27cm high * 7cm wide bottles and still be stackable?

I might have some. I'll have a rummage around the brewery (shed at my folks house) on Tuesday & come back to you.

Hi Johnny, just checked and I have 5 x 12 bottle crates not being used - I'm happy to swop for 5 x 20 bottle crates. I'm in Glasnevin, so probably not a million miles away. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks for the replies lads. At this point Dunkel's offer sounds the most suitable as I'm in Drumcondra and that's really close  to Glasnevin. I'll PM you Dunkel. Thanks again.
