Last Monday was the time for our batch of homebrew to come out of the carboy and go into the bottles. Eventually I'd like to get into kegging the beer, but at this point that requires some additional gear that is not conducive to our current unsettled lifestyle. Anywho, back to our bottling. Lucas and Debbi came by to put in some time pouring and capping. The process is not all that exciting, but finishing means you're one step closer to drinking your beer. I'll let the pictures below document the process (plus they're more interesting than any words I could come up with to describe it).
Now that it's in the bottle the countdown clock starts to mean something. I am crossing my fingers a little bit on this batch only because of the ridiculously hot weather that we had last week and weekend. It was stored in a relatively safe part of our apartment, but you're never really sure until you take the cap off that first bottle.
Cheers,
Alex

Brewing your own beer is an awesome experience! The sample we had on August 19th was amazing. I cant wait to try it after the carbonation has set in.
Alex, thanks for the invite to brew beer! Cant wait to crack open the first few bottles and start on the next batch. If Kelly doesnt mind that is :P
