Bottling Day for the Honey Nut Brown

Today is the day! @PunkAss and I are going to get a little breakfast at Pegs in Reno and start the bottling of my first full beer making experiment.

We start by sterilizing the bottles with a weak bleach bath and dried them on a bottle tree.



Next we boiled the priming sugar to carbonate the beer in the bottle. We raised the beer for a gravity feed and easier access.



Bottles all dry and setup for easy access.



Fill the bottles.



Capping the bottles. We had two bottles break and the precious beer spilling out onto the counter and floor. Boo Hoo - two dead soldiers and 41 still waiting to be drunk.

  1. I love home brew...but it's illegal in Hong Kong! And we can't find beer kit, have to sneak some back from UK...look forward to you blog about this batch.
