I have brewed over 60 batches but never bottled a batch but now I need to bottle a 5 gallon batch for a wedding this coming weekend. Since I can't fit 2 cases of empty bottles in my frig. or kegerator can I put them in a cooler with some water and a couple of bags of ice?
My plan is to add some ice cubes to my vinator filled with starsan. Pull a cold bottle out of the cooler, dump the water and shoot some cold starsan solution into the bottle. Let the bottle drain for a few seconds and then fill from my kegerator using a bottle filler. Put the filled bottle in a second cooler with ice. Repeat for the entire batch.
Is this a feasible plan? Any better suggestions?
