Batch Two Bottled
By Mike | January 14, 2008
My second batch is bottled and just about ready to go. Things went a lot more smoothly this time around since I knew more what I was doing, but it still seemed to take forever.
I need to remember to change up the order that I do things next time. I first sanitized everything, all the bottles and tubes and then boiled the extra malt extract for carbonation. What I keep forgetting is that after boiling it takes a while to cool down, so if I was to do that part first I could sanitize everything while it is cooling.
I went with mostly 12oz bottles this time since it wasn’t as much of a hassle as I thought it would be.
I also got to try out a bunch of new toys that I got for Christmas such as the faucet bottle washer, the bottle tree and the drill attachment power carboy cleaner. All made things much easier this time around.
I still need to work out a better system for cleaning all of the bottles, but other than that I think I have the bottling part down.
