Put my first batch in bottles with priming sugar. 17 x 500 ml bottles - which is just about exactly what I'd figured as final volume.
Put it in the PET bottles - just in case I screw up something in carbonation; don't want glass shattering.
Tasted the last little bit after done bottling. I think I understand "green" now
It was pretty raw stuff - the problems I detected earlier with "hot" alcohol and astringency from running the fermenter too warm, I think are definitely there.
Fortunately it's successor batch is socked away in a climate controlled box, and sitting dead steady on 66F for Wyeast #1028
But - we'll see how the bottle conditioning works over the next 3 weeks.
