First Bottling Day questions

chaserchap · Feb 26, 2011

First and foremost, I soaked my bottles in starsan, then when I bottled I just pulled them from the solution, dumped them, and bottled on top of the foam. Anyone see any problems with that?

The other question I have is this:

Is this normal? I'm assuming it's just trub, but I've never done this before, so I don't know what I'm looking for. Thanks! :ban:

Not a problem with bottling on top of the foam and that looks to be both trub and the yeast cake.

The foam is fine.

Yes, that's normal as can be. Good work!!

sounds and looks good. I am assuming that is your primary bucket (looks normal, trub and yeast) and you transferred into a bottling bucket to add priming sugar.

Now come the hard part...waiting for it to carb up.

congrats on your first batch!

from what ive read, the star san foam/bubbles are completely harmless to your beer.

That would be correct.
