Well I somewhat successfully bottled my first batch. I say somewhat cause I found that trying to bottle by yourself takes some practice.
I was using the auto siphon straight from the primary (1gallon) and using carb drops. Lost the siphon twice and had a hard time getting it started while not disturbing the trub on the bottom. At the end of it I had about an inch of beer left where the siphon could not get to it.
What do you guys do to get the most off your primary? I will be picking up a bottling bucket.
Also side question, Do you fill bottle, cap, fill bottle? Or fill all the bottles and then cap them?
