Bottling and another brew

Ok, so the bottling went pretty well. Only a couple of little mishaps with the tops of bottles shearing off but I still managed to get 37, 500ml+ bottles done. A week in the warm to prime then into the outhouse they go.

Also decided to start another brew!

Thats will be 120 pints conditioning before I have even tasted any!

After 2 lagers I decided to go for a Coopers Real Ale 1 can kit. I added just over 1kg of brewing enhancer and made to just under 5 gallons.

    I think your right.

    I’m on the hunt as we speak. I’ve heard they don’t like being alone.

    Maybe my christmas present to myself.

    I’m just about to start a first ever Kit brew, and I’m thinking I’m going to end up making more than I can drink, or end up with a big Gap where i have to leave the lot to condition, so will probably do another brew to pass the time which will require another 40 bottles and a load more conditioning time!!

    I think building up a stockpile is a good idea.

    If you’re bottle conditioning then you need to make sure you leave them long enough and not feel the urge to drink them early!
