Bottling Notes, Brown Ale ( Wed 09jan2008)

Going to bottle up the brown ale today, I actually remembered to load the bottles and dishwash them this morning, so its on. Steps:

1 - Assemble bottling bucket.

2 - Fill with water, add Star-san

3 - Attach hoses, bottle filler

4 - Run solution through hoses and filler filling up mop bucket with sanitizing solution.

5 - Wrap filler in foil/plastic wrap

6 - Put large transfer hose in sanitizing solutions

7 - Boiled 3/4 cup corn sugar for 10 min in a pint of water

8 - Transfer from fermentor to bottling bucket using large transfer hose.

9 - Put lid on bottling bucket, remove airlock.

10 - Fill and cap bottles.

11 - Clean up that mess.

12 - Bask in the glory of it all.

Bottled Notes:

Final gravity: 1.013 (corrected ~ .001 for 68F temp)

% alcohol/vol based on OG of 1.041 = ~3.6 percent (drink up :))

Total yield: equivalent of 49 x 12 oz. bottles + about 1 beer of spillage and runoff from empty santizer from hose.

Going to carbonate @ 65-70 for 2 weeks and then start drinkin em!
