Make sure the beer gets into the bottle.

Just take it nice and easy. Make sure everything is clean. Dont forget to sanitize the caps.

I usually fill 6 at a time, cap them, fill 6 more...

It's awesome I'm getting feedback already. Thanks y'all you rock. And thanks I'll make sure it gets in the bottle. Lol

Get someone to help and be prepared for a sticky mess to clean up afterwards!

I usually spray sanitizer in a clean dishwasher and use the racks to hold bottles. I then use a Bottle washer to spray Starsan solution into my bottles and let them sit upside down in the dishwasher. I then bottle over the open dishwasher so the door collects spills. I place the caps loosely on all bottles and then cap at the end. Any priming that begins will just force oxygen out of the loose caps.

I usually put on some music, grab a brew, pull up a chair and enjoy the process.

Wash and sanatize bottles, boil priming sugar in water for 3-5 minutes, dump in bottling bucket, coil auto siphon tubing in the bottom of the bucket, siphon beer on top (swirling motion will sufficiently mix), fill bottles to top with bottling wand on bottom (when you pull the wand out it will leave sufficient head space), cap, store at 70 degrees for 3 weeks, chill for 3 days, enjoy!!!

I'm confused as to how long should I leave my first batch in secondary carboy before bottling?
