Bottling my first home brew!
Posted on January 9th, 2010My first batch of home brew has been fermenting about 1 1/2 weeks. Alchol percentage of the pale ale is about 6.45%. To begin bottling I first had to sanitize the bottles. I basically just scrubbed and soaked.
Then it was time to move the home brew from my primary tank to the bottling bucket that contained my priming sugar solution.
Filling up the bottles was very simple.
Then I justed had to cap them.
Was pretty simple took about 3 hrs cause I had to sanitize all the bottles. In two weeks I will have 26 22oz home pale ale brew.

Good job!
Are those Spaten Optimator bottles? They look like (that’s what I use).
I will be doing almost the exact same thing in an hour or two.
BTW: That style of capper is needed for those bottles. The other capper doesn’t work very well because it has trouble catching on the grooves at the top of the bottle.

Congrats man…you’re in for a treat the first time you open one up. The satisfying “pop” of the open, the little wisp of vapor, the sound of the pour. Nothin’ like your first homebrew.
25 years and many hundreds of gallons later, I’m still enjoying it!
