Glass bottles

[Yolanda25]

Hello
Well see if anyone can help me with this one
I had one of them big glass bottles to put my pennies in, but today i broke it by accident, so i was wondering if anyone can tell me where to find one, i know they are quite difficult to find but mebbe someone knows where to find one , i have looked on ebay and they are some but they only do collection in person and they are too far.

Any ideas please??
Thanks

I think people mainly get them from pubs.

When I broke mine I replaced it with an empty sweet jar , may not hold quite as much but serves it's purpose.

Try a florist or garden centre. Sometimes they use them for planting like a little greenhouse.

They are called carboys "a large container made of plastic or glass, usually protected by a wooden, wire or Heavy rope casing and used to hold corrosive liquids such as acids"

In brewing, a carboy is also known as a demijohn Big Bottles with two handles on
They have 'em in Home Brew Shops

They have the big 4.5 litre whisky bottles in Bold Street Club and Canine Club. We have just put a new one up in Bold Street so it may be a little while before it is empty. I will check tonight if we have an empty one lying around. If so will let you know tomorrow.
