On Saturday December 31st I bottled the Holiday Ale (name changed to 9 Foot Winter Ale) that was brewed October 8th. I probably could have let it sit awhile longer but I figured 12 weeks would be enough. Plus, I couldn't wait to use the cool 9 Foot bottle caps I got from my daughter for Christmas. The caps went on just like the generic ones I have always used before. I will know in a few weeks if they sealed as well. I have always written the batch number on the bottle cap as a way to identify the beer, with the printed caps I needed a new method of identification. My wife, Teri, quickly thought of the self adhesive "dots" we had in a cabinet. It was a great idea. Could they be a precursor to an actual label?
