    Try car boots, they'll be cheapest.

        Hmm, your'e going to have troubles then. Because they are Glass they don't travel well & the weight will cost you. I reckon you'll be looking at £4 - £5 each for new ones. You can bet a plastic version but I bet they are a couple of quid each.

              Are you going to make vino in these? If so, I can highly recommend plastic 6 litre milk containers. The bubble traps fit very nicely with a minimum of tailoring.

              All the best

                    Do you mean the type they have in offices etc? I bet they'd be happy to give them to you if they don't have to send them back to the suppliers. Hold a decent amount too!

                      That is a good thought, no I was thinking of the 6 litre bottles you can get from Tesco. I think you have to send the office bottles back for reuse.

                        I've resurrected this thread, because glass demijohns are £6.49 in my local brew shop !!!

                        Even the plastic jobby is 2 quid.
                        I'm going to get some 5 litre bottles of water from Lidl, and some rubber grommets from Wilko/Maplin, and bodge my own I think. (thanks to NPK on this thread)

                          Thanks for this as I have been searching for DJ's. We do not have a local brew shop but will try the large water bottles.
