I have a barleywine, a raspberry Merlot, and a JAOM batch that all need bottling. They're batches that need and will benefit from aging.
Problem is: I hate bottling. I'm good at it, and when using Revvy's bottling tips it goes as smoothly as can be expected. I'm just a lazy dude with a busy schedule. Bottling is always a 1-3 hour investment (delabel/clean/sanitize/rack/prime/bottle), and it's hard to justify when I can either be making more batches, or handling one of the dozens of other timesinks in life.
I keg, and already have beers in or slated for the kegs, so kegging isn't really the solution. Or at least not a new one.
I guess I just need a kick in the pants. After all, bottling frees up vessels for more batches, too, right?
