This weekend (Saturday) I bottled my TrueBrew Pale Ale which has been fermenting for 2 weeks, a little early I know. It was my first batch ever and I did make a lot of (MINOR) errors . Final volume was exactly 4 gallons instead of 5 due to a miscalculation. I used the entire bag of priming sugar that came with the kit and mixed it in. This means that each bottle technically has to much sugar in it. I ended up with 42 bottles.
SUNDAY I brewed an American IPA and everything went great! I actually felt like I was loopy from the hop smell it was so strange, I also had a headache. Anyways I spent at least 3 hours sanitizing this weekend so I am happy with the results.
On a side note, I did manage to find a Fully Automatic Capping Tool and it works great. Is anyone else using one of these? I definitely need another carboy for next weekend it bothers me to only have one batch fermenting.
