Begginers Bottling

Hi all,

I have just put my first batch of beer into the fermenting stage and am eagerly anticipating its finish!

I was wondering though. When I bottle the beer, is there any way to get the carbonation into the bottle without putting a tsp of dextrose in the bottom of the bottle.

I was just wondering because I would like for my friends and me to drink straight from the bottle without having to worry about bloating etc.

Thank you and happy brewing!

Joe

Take a look here: http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter11.html

Without counter pressure filling (using a CO2 tank) you are going to have to prime with dextrose or DME and the yeast will probably settle out in the bottle. In general though, I think pouring the beer into a glass is best.

We usually homebrew to make great beers and drinking out of the bottle is one way to not get the best out of them. You need a glass, not a paper cup or coffee mug. Yes, I'm a beer snob and you should be too.

Sediment in the bottle just comes with the territory. Pouring a clean glass of homebrew doesn't take too much practice, before long you'll even find yourself leaving a quarter inch of commerical beer in the bottle out of habit.

Ok thanks for your advice everyone.


Bobby M I never want to become a beer snob...It goes against everything I stand for with drinking.
