Bottling Day Is Here

The bottles that are back in action with my first home brew.

Two weeks after brewing my first home brew (robust porter) I was messing up the kitchen again sanitizing all the items I would need in order to bottle. You could easily say that I am a little anal when it comes to my sanitation but overkill in this department isn’t going to hurt anything.

I placed all the bottles that I might use (all 22 ounce bombers) into my dishwasher and ran a cycle. According to the guys in my homebrew club this should be enough to sanitize the bottles. match supreme txt femmes While they were going I sanitized the racking cane, tubing, bottling bucket, spoon, and various other items I thought I might need.

Once the bottling bucket was clean, I dumped in the corn sugar solution and, on top if it, I racked the beer on top. I lightly stirred the solution not trying to get air in but trying to get the bottling sugar mixed evenly. My beer filled 26 bombers.

Of course I had a taste. The beer tasted dead on for the style just without any carbonation. As long as my sanitation is on, then my beer should turn out drinkable, lol. In two weeks I will give it a test but I will assume that in three or four it should taste better. Either way I am excited. Enjoy!
