    Bottled my first batch tonight and it wasn't a complete nightmare!! I'll be glad when I get a good system down because it took awhile even with the help from #SWMBO. Bad thing is I only ended up with 39 bottles left a little to much in the fermenter(was scared I was gonna end up sucking some trub up!!) so now just have to kick back and wait and see how it turns out! Was going to brew my second batch up tomorrow but low and behold UPS screwed that up for me so I guess that will happen next weekend. Oh yeah I only ended up breaking one bottle while capping! You live and you learn!!

    Wow been brewing for over a year and don't/won't ever have a room/setup that nice for brewing. Consider yourself lucky. Swmbo does not realize that this "hobby" is not going away!

    Something very satisfying about creating a small army of deliciousness. I bottled my Irish red last night. ImageUploadedByHome Brew1391261730.128669.jpg
