I am thinking about buying a Home Brewing Beer Machine 2006 with Bottling Kit.
I've had success with the beer machine a few years ago brewing but I had trouble with the carbonation dispenser.
1. I didn't know if I needed to add carbon.
2. When I added a bottle the keg/dispenser seal would break.
I think I want to try again this time brewing and then sending the beer to bottles driectly. I've never done this before.
I think I like the idea of P.e.t Bottles and caps. To brew beer all I need to do is:
1. to sanitize the beer machine with water and bleach
2. add the mix and water.
3. Let the mix brew for 7 - 14 days.
Is this correct so far? Now to bottle:
4. do I need to add the priming sugar ? If so how? I was thinking is there enough carbon produced during the brewing ? or do I just add a few squirts of c02 via the dispenser to the keg before filling my bottles?
5. sanitize the bottles and caps & filling tube.
6. add the beer to the bottles.
7. Just twist on the caps?
is this all I have to do?
are Pet bottles caps a good way to go?
Can I sanitize by washing in bleach & water & then a hot rinse in the dishwasher?
Thank you
