Busy morning bottling an IPA, APA and a blonde. Can't wait till they're ready

I've bottled two batches and brewed a batch in a single day and it was exhausting. Bottling three would be pushing it for me. Have a beer to celebrate all your hard work!
 
But it's at least a good kinda tired. Still gettin a whole heard of bottles scrubbed,rinsed & dried since last afternoon. A couple airlocks scrubbed,etc & I'm done. Then I gotta take an FG on my Berlin wheat which is likely ready to bottle tomorrow. Then wash the yeast.
But bottling 3 batches in a day is pretty good! :rockin::mug:
 
It was especially exhausting since I was taking care of my 5 month old at the same time while the husband mowed the lawn. I have another batch to brew but don't think I have it in me. Guess it can wait till tomorrow
 
I hear ya there. Making & bottling my wines was hectic when I was young & the kids were little like that. Now I'm middle aged,& it more or less feels the same or worse. I've been cleaning bottles,putting new stuff away,cleaning airlocks & rearanging boxes of newly cleaned bottles all morning,finishing up what I started late yesterday afternoon. I'll take the FG sample of the remaining batch today. But I'll wait till tomorrow morning to bottle it up & wash the yeast. That Berlin Wheat with Trulemon should be good in a few weeks from now.

I'm celebrating with dogfish head Indian brown ale since I am out of ready to drink homebrew, and waiting for these to carb :mug:

Unionrdr you sound like a busy man! My goal is to brew once a week or at least 3 times a month
 
My hat is off to you that you managed that with a 5 month old. Enjoy them being immobile while you can, our 11 month old is walking EVERYWHERE and nothing is safe!

I do have days where I'm cleaning up after a long brew day,or bottling day. Then there's those times I've got a lot of bottles to clean or delabel. It's not so bad when I get caught up. Especially now that I finally got the car runnin good again. I had that on top of everything else.
