I have been lucky enough to get my hands on a dozen or so red S & N plastic beer crates (with a promise of a few more) however they are rather manky

i have tried power washing but apart from getting myself drenched that wasnt very effective The wife is out Saturday and was thinking of sticking a few in the bath and soaking them in something / has anyone any idea's

The Hollyhop Brewery 100 litre stainless

A strong soda crystal solution might do the trick.

I haven't seen any for a while, sorry. Either you see a seller on eBay with thousands or none at all

Try your local off licences, thhat's where I got all mine from for the cost of the deposit on the crates, iirc around £1- £1.50 per crate.

Multi trip crate (£7 each plus delivery). These hold 20 Magners cider bottles perfectly and they stack as well
He just sent me a few and only wanted paying by cheque once I received them so I didn't have to pay VAT on the sale.
Tried beers of europe but got no reply from several e-mails.

One word of advice. There is a flat rate of £10 for overnight shipping that covers up to twelve crates. So get as many as you need in one go.
The Multi trip crate as previously mentioned is the one to go for. However worth noting that you get around 12 distinct bottle sections and 4 double ones. I think they are good value for money. The service is excellent. I called yesterday and they were here today. I would recommend them.

Mine came next day too. In comedy style the guy on the phone said "are you one of those home brewers, Ive had 6 orders this week!"
