3 batches of beer..... BOTTLED!
|
|
All in one day, man is my arm soar. That was my first marathon bottling day ever. I have to say, it is a lot easier doing it this way though, and you dont waste all your sanitizer, just bottle, clean, re-sanitize, and repeat. In three to five weeks, it will all be worth it! Anyone else ever did this all in one day? Hopefully a kegging system will fit down my chimney so santa can deliver it!

Holy christ dude that's way too much bottling. But certainly a good point about cutting out the overhead for the other two batches.

I'm sure someone has done it. I remember reading guys doing 4 brew sessions in one day. I hope your kegging stuff comes for Christmas. Kegging is so much nicer.

Yeah, I've done that. It is a PITA, but it is definitely more efficient to knock it all out at once.

brewing 2 this weekend, one done, (5 gal each) and a (small 2 gallon) cider.
Wish I had kegging capability
got a hellacious brew schedule coming up 8 batches between now and jan 15 2010 that's a lot for me! putting one down as soon as one is ready and teaching 2 buddies to brew!

I, too, look forward to kegging in the not-too-distant future. Must be a nice sense of accomplishment to get so much done in on day, though.

It will change your brewing life. How over long your bottling days are (mine usually were 2-3 hours per batch) to 30 minutes (and that's taking your time).
Glad you are teaching others to brew. That's awesome. |

Wow, 3 in one day? I can only fit one carboy in the fermentation chamber, which obviously limits me to bottling one batch at a time. I plan on finishing up the kegging setup before expanding the fermentation chamber to avoid multiple bottlings in one day though.

All my bottling sessions are 10 Gallons.
I use the 1 litre Mr Beer PET bottles. It's really not that hard.
