you're sittin pretty. the best thing to do is re-use old bottles because it doesn't cost you anything, if you're not counting the deposit you'd get back by returning them. I've started collecting, but I'm trying to get bottles that look the same so that my finished product looks somewhat presentable. Sleeman's bottles are good cause you actually see what the beer looks like. I thought about trying to get a bunch of those cool twisty Bavaria bottles, but I don't think I could drink enough of that garbage.
regarding the comment about aging it; doesn't beer only have a shelf life of 3 or 4 months (unless it's pasturized)?
