I only started back up bottling again this year. It’s not as bad as I remembered. 3 gallons is only 30 bottles, so that makes it a little easier.I have a 3 tap keggerator, and 5 kegs. One keg is usually filled with sanitizer.
When I used to bottle, I would keep bottles around for about 5 batches. I'm glad not to be doing that anymore.
I rinse out my bottles as soon as I empty one, store them clean in a case. Botlling day I put them in a bucket of pbw for 10 min, drain, rinse, move to a bucket of star san, drain, rinse, fill, cap, repeat. I set up a little table with my bottling bucket up on a milk crate and that puts the bottling wand in a great spot where its easy to fill the bottles. Its not that much of a chore and it really doesn’t take that long.
I’m using Fastlabel to print labels and put them on my bottles. No affiliation, I just like them. I used to use the little Avery circles on the bottle caps but too many fell off leaving me guessing what was in the bottle. Its fun to play with Photoshop and make labels
