Well last night bottling was quite the exciting time. I had started around 830 or so, cleaned out a bunch of bottles. I knew my first batch AG was slightly less than 5 gallons and that I had drank most of my first batch by this point, which was around 50 or so bottles. I had also gotten new ones from friends and what not, so I wasn't worried about having enough bottles. Well as i was bottling I noticed wow this seems like i'm going though most my bottles fairly fast...hm so i got off the floor and looked into the bottling bucket....hm, about 1/3 left, and 1 bottle left. So what was the only logical thing to do? Drink a bunch of my beers from previous batches, have a friend over and try to get about 10-15 more bottles. Well after 2 hours, beerfest, 1 pizza had enough bottles to finish bottling. Was quite the night, the friend that came over said he wants to always bbe there for bottling time.
On a more serious note, when i smelled the beer/tasted the very end it smelt very sweet and tasted basically like grain water. I used the recipe for Eds House Ale. Is this smell/taste normal for AG? or did i go wrong?
Thanks,
Daum
