Haha just finished bottling them. I got 48 bottles out of it, but I lost almost a gallon of beer being a dummy on brew day in about a week I'll have 10 more gallons of beer to bottle. That will be fun haha

What's wrong with the ones that have an "X" on them? Poison? We won't tell.

Congrats! Now comes the hard part. Leaving them alone long enough to let them carb/age.

Haha I was wondering if anyone would ask that, it's probably nothing but I forgot to sanitize my caps and those are the ones I did before I remembered. So I marked them, just in case. Figured those will be the ones I drink first just to be safe.

Lol I know. I tasted some of the beer while I was bottling and it tasted pretty good. Almost like a nuttier flat Samuel Adams Boston Lager.

All in all I can't complain for my first brew. I think I'm hooked, me and my brother in law were talking about ways to go about lagering without spending more money on equipment and decided that when it cools off outside, we're going make the wort, put it in the bucket and cart it down to the creek, add the yeast and tie it off then throw it in. The temps should keep a constant 45f or there about. That'll make the wait easier XD out of sight, out of mind.
