On to
the next steps in the process!

 |
3/4 Cup priming
sugar. This will be boiled
in some water to add to the beer to allow the
yeast to produce carbonation and some
more alcohol once bottled. |
Here I am with
the Beer ready to be siphoned
into a secondary container prior to bottling. |

Corn sugar
coming to a boil. |
These fellows
are the rubber seals that
go on the bale-top bottle caps. |

 |
This is
Iodophore used with water to
sanitize the equipment so no nasties
cause the yeast to turn on us. |
After rinsing
with iodophor/water solution
we let the gear air dry. If we had used bleach
water we would have had to rinse or the bleach
would kill the yeast. That's the beauty of iodophor. |
Corn sugar
closer still to a boil. |

Corn sugar

It's a boilin'. |
 |

Now we pour the
sterilized corn sugar water
mix into the sanitized 5-gallon bucket then
siphon the beer into that. |

Troop Surge. |
 |
Now we siphon
the beer (now mixed with
corn sugar) into the awaiting bottles. |
|
More siphoning. |
|
This is the
device that makes bottling
much easier. It has a spring tip so it only
dispenses beer when it is pressing the
bottom of the beer bottle. |
 |
| |
This one is
ready for the
ten day wait
in
the closet until Drinkin' Day.
|
More freshly
bottled beer

|
Now...
all we have to do is wait! |
|
ahoy swabbies!
This here
thar be the real thing and has
earned the coveted Captn' Rog seal of approval!
When ye
ventures into uncertain waters, be sure to
keep some of my matty's suds in your cooler!
These may be
friendly words for your
seas of troubles! |
