[wolfpackguy]

No questions. No problems. Just about to embark on my first bottling tonight. Everything is sanitized and ready to go. Yay! Ok, that is all.

Only a few more weeks until you actually get to drink it. hahaha

I know. It's so hard waiting. Luckily I have another in the primary so I can keep my downtime to a minimum in the future.

Good luck! Hope all goes well. 2 weeks to drinking the fruits of your labor

Ahhh. So happy! Everything is bottled. I had a little bit left below the spigot ( about a pint worth) that I didn't feel like messing with so I just put it in a pint glass. Even though it wasn't carbonated, tasted amazing. Maybe a little watery, but can't tell if that's from lack of carbonation. Honestly, drank the whole pint though. Was drinking a Sierra Nevada at the same time and the flavor wasn't that off. Sweet!

You can put a 3/4 PVC elbow onto the threads from the spigot to create dip tube. After adding that I only leave a few ounces left in the bucket.

Check out the bottling "sticky" and there is a ton of pics an info.

Yeah I figured a dip tube of sorts would work. Just hadn't made one yet but will in the future. Thanks! I'll check out the sticky
