        Bob,

        I'm passing very close to Knottingley on the evening of 4th July, and in the opposite direction on 5th July evening. If there are any still available I'd be very grateful.

        I'm assuming that's the Knottingley close to the A1.

              but i "think" they have a slightly smaller opening....

              so you need to work hard to get the normal bung in...or buy cork bungs

              I've always managed to get a standard DJ cork in them without any problem - and as they were originally made to take a screw cap, I'm guessing that they should all be the same size - though whether all the various HBS we use sell corks to exactly the same tolerances I don't know.

              The ones from my local bloke have always fitted.

              Oh and as we delivered the 60 to Rich, that means that I've only got about another 360 left.

              At 25p a go, they're a bargain - so if any of you happen to be in spitting distance of the Sussex Coast (West), then there's a good deal available i.e. 50p for a gallons worth of glass storage makes them cheaper than nearly all of the ones you see on ebay that go for about £1 a gallon.

              p.s. I'll PM my address when they've been collected from Bob to all takers and you can stick a cheque in the post ???? or something like that (it'll go a small way to the £45 in fuel - each way - getting to and from Lancaster ).

              Oh and last nights Wigan Vs Harlequins was excellent. A 38 - 20 win, despite the ref and one of the linesmans obvious visual imparment

                      Got any left?

                      Have you go any of the half gallon dj's left? I could do with some for my experimental wines when I don't have enough fruit etc. for a gallon.

                      Many thanks,

                      Greg

                                Hi guys I am doing a few half gallon batches and planning a few more... Does anyone know where I can still get some of these...? They are so handy and compact for experiments I don't know why they are so difficult to get hold of...?

                                If not does anyone know of any alternatives?! I have done some half batches in 2l PET bottles!
