Had quite the assembly line going. My girlfriend sanitized bottles and capped and I was the filler. Filled and capped 45 bottles in under an hour. It tastes great!!!
Bottling day for first batch

Congrats, I just bottled my first batch last week too. What style is yours?
Congratulations of your first brew.
Just a comment on something I have noticed (and I am guilty of myself), it seems whenever someone is bottling with someone else, the person who isn't in charge of the brew gets capping and/or sanitizing duty. Looking back the filling part seems the most fool proof, and next time I am going to want to make sure the capping is done right.
Just an observation, but I have noticed it is always the gf/wife/friend/child that is doing the capping. Some strange subliminal dominance thing about filling the bottles or something lol

The brew was a Mac and Jack's clone, like a amber ale. I gave her the choice and she selected the capping.

Congrats. My first batch is 3 weeks in the bottle. The longer it sits, the better it tastes....
In the Fermenter - Chinook IPA, still bubbling away....

Is that a local microbrew? Never heard of it.

Local Washington beer, really good stuff.

I have noticed the same thing in my house. It has started to change around as everybody (wife and sons) have tried the jobs and I am on the capping. I am usually begging for help. Make it fun and offer their favorite food or music and beer!
