well that was interesting. i bottled my first batch tonight. had my stuff all set out and sanitized and ready, got a siphon started from the primary into the bottling bucket, and i was just thinking to myself "hey, that was pretty easy." and i turned to my cleanes bottles, thenking i would sanitize them while the beer siphoned. then there was this odd splashing sound. i wonder what.... AHHHH the spigot on the bottling bucket was busted leaking my beer all over the floor and making a mess, great, now what.
well, i ended up getting what made it into the bottling bucket back into the primary, and i got the bottling wand onto the siphon tube, and move the primary over to the other counter top where i had my bottles ready to go, saanitized a few of them and got started. the rest was pretty smooth, other than the fact that the last few bottles might've been a little iffy cause i am not positive i kept all the trub out of the siphon. i did what i could to keep track of the racking cane on the on end and teh bollting wand on the other, but time will tell.
the only thing i'm still worriedabout is that i may end up with bottle bombs. i hope not, but the whole priming sugar water seems like a possible bad idea.
