We bottled our first beer, I was kind of sick so it basically sucked for me, but it went well. Â It took forever since we had to clean all of the bottles, de-molding some of them but we ended up with 42.5 bottles of beer, not bad for a first shot at it. Â We will try to remember to wash the bottles ahead of time in the future.
We used 3/4 cup of sugar with a pint of water for carbonating in bottle, we kind of forgot to pour the mixture into the bottling bucket first so we had to add it after syphoning and mix it in. Â We seemed to be quite successful with syphoning, there was next to no sediment pulled from the carboy.
I know this is a short and super not informative post, but I forgot to write it at the time and am going from memory. Â Future bottling posts will be better.
