Botlling and Aging




Well, yesteday, the secondary fermentation finished, and I finally got to bottle my beers. I am posting a few pictures of the process yesterday. The first picture is me siphoning the beer from the glass carboy to the "bottling bucket". I had to transfer it back to the bucket because I had to mis in the priming sugar which creates the carbonation the beer needs. Once the priming sugar was misxed in, I measured the specific gravity one last time to compare it to the original specific gravity. From this, I was able to calculate the alcohol content per volume. I forgot to bring the calculations with me, so I'll post them next week, along with the recipe I used. The second pictures is me siphoning the beer into the bottles. More pics to come.
