I screwed up in a good way...

I have an Apfelwein & a Brown Ale basically at the point of bottl'n. (in 2ndaries)

The Brown Ale is ready-to-go into bottles now and I planned to do it today.

My bottl'n bucket doubles as a 5g primary. Its got the standard spigot on the bottom.

I decided to brew my Irish Ale before I bottled my brown ale. This is the Oops. I put the Irish ale in my bottln' bucket.

Duh.... How the f--k am I gonna bottle the brown ale now?

I've got to buy me another bottling bucket or borrow one. I could try using a racking cane and bottle filler... Hmm... anything else...

What would you do? Have you done anything this bone-headed before?

I like to hear it.

Thanks!!

Sure, I've done bone-headed stuff like that, I think everyone has!
I would just wait, I guess. No harm in waiting, the beer can only get better anyway. You could buy another carboy/bucket if you want to, there's always a need for more fermenters at my house.

Buy another bucket? They're cheap. =)

I solve all my problems with buying more stuff.. Works great for me.

Get yoursef a big straw and start in on that brown ale -- who needs bottles or carbonation!

I'd just buy another Bottling bucket. No need to stress. It's in the secondary. It'll only get better.

You could try bottle priming. The guy at my LHBS swears by it. I've been doing it and am pleased with the results.
