Well, not really my first batch, but it's been about ten years since I've brewed so I am a nOOb. Bottling went well, just took a little long, but I'm sure I'll get better with experience. I did a Pale Ale extract kit from my LHBS. Original gravity was 1.040. I kept it in the primary for four weeks and the final gravity is 1.010. I ended up with 42 bottles. I think this was due to my problems with siphoning or maybe I didn't top off with enough water. I will most likely be investing in a auto-siphon before my next batch. Thanks for all the help from HBT. I feel like a sponge, just soaking up all the knowledge I can from everybody on here.:mug:
 
Autosiphons are one of my top 10 "must-have" brewing supplies. Just be careful with them, they break easily. I've gone through 3 of them in the last year.
