Commercial beer gives me heartburn of note and I really dont like the strong corn taste they all have. I find it difficult to enjoy many (not all) craft beers. I tend to critically pick at it and wonder why I'm paying R50+ for a shitty beer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I also know without a shadow of a doubt that the brewer that made it, made it for the masses and profit not for a fellow brewer. Guaranteed that many if not all craft/micro/nano brewers brew personal batches for themselves on a smaller scale to keep the passion alive.

Browsing online I see all kinds of bottle crates and glass crates at plastic places, Makro etc.
Before I visit each and every shop, Grolsch bottle in hand, does anyone know which crates will work lekker for the Grolsch bottles?If you see how I drink, you'll understand my username.
I don't drink water, unless it's been through a brewery first.

You can also check with your local liquor store if they don't maybe have some excess crates you can buy off them. I think I have 6 or 8 crates at home, and use them for storing bottles, beers and when bottling. After I washed my bottles and they're sanitized, they get placed upside down in the crates to allow the excess sanitiser to run out onto a towel, from where I bottle. Works like a charm.

Ah ok cool, I thought the quart crates will be too big for the Grolsch bottles. Getting a couple of quart crates shouldn't be much of a problem.If you see how I drink, you'll understand my username.
