Bottling Day

Good news for the Tight Skirt Stout... Sunday July 24th I checked the fermentation progress of the stout and was pleased to find it had reached proper attenuation for bottling. So that’s what I decided to do. I quickly sanitized bottles, got the priming sugar and bottle caps ready, then recruited help. An extra person makes the job much easier, one person fills bottles while the other caps. I now have a case each of 22 oz and 12 oz bottles of nearly opaque black beer. In a couple of weeks I will perform a carbonation check. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it.
