Grolsch beer bottle gasket strap locks

[gkorm]

I've been happily using these rubber gaskets as strap locks and have had no trouble with them (once I am sure they are on securely). Just found a cheap online source for them, so I don't have to buy two bottles of Grolsch beer for each set. : )

Grolsch Gaskets - Bottle Caps & Closures - Bottling - Equipment - Brewing : Northern Brewer


I think one order could last me a long long time!

If these are your "cup of tea", enjoy!

Best wishes,
George

Course this could prove to be one of the least interesting threads on this forum, but I wanted to share it nonetheless.

Nah, the no relpy is just because they are out there emptying bottles of Grolsch to collect the gaskets.

And thanks for the tip. I live in Denmark not far from the German border and we Danes often shop in Flensburg just south of the border. Beer is one of those things which are cheaper there. Next time my wife and I go there, I'll buy a 6-pack of Flensburger Pils which has the same caps and gaskets.

Yes, true enough when thirsty for a Grolsch!

as I am local to the brewery, I have been using these straplocks since the day I started playing the guitar.

Hup Holland !!!

yeah.. but they only fit on the Nels Cline jazzmasters.

I've been using the Grolsch straplocks since 1991, when I started studying at the University of Enschede. I lived only about 750 meters away from the brewery... I think the guitar I used back then still has the "straplocks" I put on at that time, so I can testify they last for decades!

(by the way, a brewery can really spread a very strong beer smell, which is not funny when you wake up with a hang over caused by...... their beer!)

Man, Grolsch! I lost many nights on that! And days 'coz the hangover on that beer was of ice-pick proportions.... I am reaching for the paracetamols just thinking about it.....
