Such clever titles the last few days eh? I purchased 2 cases of 24 empty 16oz returnable bottles yesterday for a grand total of $3. Couldn't see spending $60 on the swingtops. I must say, the process proved a bit disgusting with some mold involved etc. I think all is well now. Soaked in double strength hot 1-step solution for 15 minutes for cleaning and label removal, then used the sink attached jet washer to clean them out (thanks Matt). After the first 9 bottles and the floaters in the sanitizer bucket, they got an extended hot jet wash before and after the soak.
Stegmeier bottles were fairly beat up and the glue was really thick like the barrel paste from elementary school. The Straub bottles had a much better box, nearly new bottles and the labels came off like a breeze. The 1 box of Straub they had there was full to the top with spider webs and leaves. Glad we looked before I picked that one.
