Beer Batch 2 Part 2
January 06, 2008 02:01:57 PM
     Ok, so here it is! The much anticipated part 2 of my beer brewing escapades! In this portion of the brew process, we have bottling, secondary fermentation, and carbonating.
     The first step to today's procedure is the one thing I don't miss, sanitizing the bottles. You have to scrub and dunk each bottle in iodine solution. Finally I was able to open the primary fermenter, it smelled so good! I then took its specific gravity reading for calculating alcohol content later, then siphoned it all into the bottling bucket which was first filled with my priming sugar mix.
     Everything was now ready for bottling. One by one I plunged the dipper into the bottles and capped them with the heavy duty bottle capper. Keep in mind, I even had to sterilize the caps!
     After all the bottles were filled I was finally able to clean up, thats the last step! While in the bottles, the beer will gain clarity, accrue a little more alcohol, carbonate automatically from the yeasts fermentation of the priming sugar, and mature it's taste. I ran out of bottles when filling, so I had to use my growler, and a grolsch bottle, so all said and done, I made about 46 bottles.

COMMENT: I like how you wrote it =) Interesting. It's like you were narrating. And you've gotta save me a bottle! No matter how long before I'm able to taste it, promise?

COMMENT: Dang! How much did it cost for you to make all of that? How much of a profit do you think you could get if you sold them?
