Adding to the Marketplace - Open Topics Discussions on Home Brew Forums

This is more or less just a general probe inquiry. I'm trying to figure out what would be of most value to the home brewing community in terms of items that may be able to be added to the marketplace.

Obviously items that are easy/inexpensive to ship are going to be of the most interest. Let me know what you frequently have a need for or stuff that might be hard to find in your area.

All ingredients really, that would be higher volume stuff... But I doubt that's what you are looking for.

Oh yes. I don't use that many bottle caps, but I would definitely buy some of these.

I like the caps. I'm bottling more beer for storage and aging. Growler coozie or growler cooler. Pint glass coozie. Bottle opener, we talked about quality before. Beer glasses, but not pint. They are expensive and shipping sucks I'm sure. Coasters. I received some guitar pics from Lagunitas with their logo, cool but sort of out of the box for brewing. If I think of more I'll chime in.

All great ideas.

If you guys were going to buy bottle caps, what kind of volume would you want to buy them in? 10's at a time? 100's at a time? Doesn't have be exact just trying to get a sense of it.

100... minimum
If a good deal can be had in bulk..... then so much the better

Yea, it takes around 50 for a 5g batch if you bottle all, so 100 minimum I would think.

as long as that re-use is flicking them at dogs or lining a tabletop with them....you are right.
