Im want to bottle tomorrow and would like some last minute advice. I currently have a raspberry wheat that i have sitting in a secondary for 2 weeks, that im going to bottle soon. This is the process is was gonna use.
--prepare my priming sugar 5oz priming sugar 3/4cup of water which i will rack my beer directly onto the top of it. (should i stir it in?)
1-50 new bottles sitting on counter all diped into a bucket with star san
2-bowl with 55 caps with with star san in it with capper near by
3-sanitize my bottling bucket and run star san through the bottling wand
4-sanitize my racking wand so i can rack the beer from carboy to bottling bucket
I plan on filling each bottle placing loose cap on top once ive done 10 use the capper to securly attach caps to bottle, repeat until all are full. After i have all the bottles full im gonna take a wet wash rag and wipe off any residue off outside of bottles.
This entire process will be done in the kitchen bottling bucket above the diswasher so if any beer leaks i dont make a huge mess.
Any tips from the experts?
