Yeah. There is really no reason to do more than a couple rinse-shake-repeats.

I guess I was thinking it would be a more efficient way to do it, which is why large companies would do it that way.

I have 5 glass carboys, and no more space.

If you added water before bottling the carbonation wouldn't be off.

I have heard that the "big guys" do it that way. I was wondering if anybody has tried it, and to what degree of success? I was thinking about making a big DIPA around 10% abv, and then adding water at bottling time to make 10 gallons at 5% abv. If for no other reason, than to make 10gal of...

Cold beer.

If you think about it, the process of bottling, and shipping bottles of beer from the brewery is hardest on the bottles. Once they are in the hands of a homebrewer they spend most of the time sitting around.

do bombers fit in milk crates?

It isn't a lie. UV light reacts with alpha acids (hops) to create a skunk smell.

I do about a minute for each. I would be interested to hear a reason why it would take any longer than that.

Sounds like Southern Tier. I just leave the labels on and those are the ones I give away, and don't care if I get back.

Most courses have rules against bringing your own beer.

Selling beer isn't about beer. It's about marketing.

I do the dishwasher too. I just bottled a batch in about 30 minutes. It seems many people on this board feel they are being "more sanitary," or "better" if they use a longer, or more complicated process.

I made an extract batch once while my kids were napping. Total time was 2:10. 2 weeks ago I made 2 extract batches (15 gallons) during the bears game.

That is going to be a very weak beer. It's not too late to add more fermentables.

I have 4 fermenters. I brew 20 gallons once a month. I leave them for about 4 weeks in primary, then bottle a 5 gallon batch a day (in bombers) near the end of the month. I did this after many other variations, and like this way best. You only have to clean up once. It's also good in winter...

I have done it also, with no noticeable differences. I'm sure it has everything to do with your ice/water quality.
