So thats the Mexican Cerveza and Wheat beer bottled. I don’t have any spare bottles but will be trying to source some.
What I do have is an empty cornelius keg. I was planning a raspberry beer and a Milestone Crusader but think these would do better in bottles?
Who knows.
Bottled this last night. Though I had loads of bottles…………. how wrong was I!!! Ended up using about 10 275ml bottles, hope they don’t burst!
Warm conditioning for a week like the Mexican Cerveza then out into the cold.
Finally got round to bottling this last night. Wasn’t very organised and took me about an hour overall.
Got 38 bottles from it in all.
Currently sat in my back bedroom warm conditioning before going into the outhouse for a couple of months. If I can wait that long!
Should be bottling the Muntons Wheat Beer tonight too.
Ok after no posts for nearly 2 months, mostly because I couldn’t be bothered here is an update.
Both cornies were filled and I managed to source a CO2 bottle to carbonate them. Now one of the cornies is empty but I started brewing another 80 pints last night. 40 pints of Coopers Mexican Cerveza and 40 pints of Coopers Wheat Beer. I even managed to get SWMBO to help out!
Over xmas I had great fun emptying one cornie of its content of Cooper Canadian Blonde but don’t think i’ll be brewing that again anytime soon as it was a little bland for me. The bottled Muntons Continental Pilsner still tastes fantastic and am only drinking that on special occasions.
I have also turned my hand to cider brewing! 1 gallon of cider was brewed over xmas and it was quite dry but overcarbonated, I was still burping 30 mins after finishing the pint. I have plans for another go at cider but with an apple and cranberry twist.
I now have 3 taps but they are still freestanding as I need to build some sort of font. I have some credit at B&Q so a visit there and some bodging may be in order.
