Today came part 2 of the homebrewing process - bottling. This is tricky. You need to be cautious and “slow down”. That got me a couple times. Out of the original near 5 gallons about 4 and 1/4 were usable and bottled resulting 43 Zog’s Grog Jester’s Kin Amber Ale. Here is the label I am working on:

It was very tedious at parts and I agree with Brian, part way through I tell myself that I am never doing this again. Never. Of course after seeing nearly 2 cases of beer smiling back at me I think - well maybe once more. Check out these pics from today:

The cases - ready for 2 weeks of carbonation action

The first sample - tasted like orange-peeled flat slightly hoppy beer

And the “carboy of doom” - oh boy - I get to clean that!
