I'm considering packing up 2-3 cases of empty bottles and bringing them back to the US. I think I can bring back 3 cases for about...

Hello everyone, I've been browsing these forums and brewing beer for about a year now, figured it was about time I clicked register. A brief summary of my current homebrew hobby: I'm an all grain brewer with a 10G igloo cooler, 10G megapot and BrewPi system. (BrewPi is new) I've got 12...
