I've got the best beer bottler.
 

She is twelve and ten times smarter than I am, bottling our fourth beer batch an American IPA this time. We are doing a Belgian Trippel next. Plus two batches of Mead aging right now, ready around Christmas time.

awesome..same great kid that made you the cake? and got you the bottle of JW blue?

happy birthday buddy.

Bottles get soooooo old and tiring to clean and cap...........been there.

As I was doing all-grain and 15-20 gallon batches, I stepped up to using 2 liter pop bottles (heck they are food grade plastic) and brewing everyweekend in that quantity, I was just giving away the bottles of beer, and had Nine 5 gallon corny kegs.......yeah I'd have 3 kegs on tap at anyone time, and 6 others aging.


Bottling gets real old real fast. Step up to the 2 liter bottles, that's about 4 pints per bottle, so perfect to take a bottle over to a friends house to share a couple pints.

Its great to get kids involved.

That's awesome ! Now Send me a bottle :)

That's cool. Here in Calif. you'd get tracked down, fined, taxed, fined again, thrown in jail.....bla, bla.

Why? The ATF is a federal joint. There is no CATF that I've heard of.

Listen to this man!

I'm envious! I'm still bottling myself, or with a friend, using one of those little red hand-held doodads. PITA!

Would be curious to find out what you're putting in your IPA, BTW -- I really like Dogfish Head's Hellhound IPA, but can't find a good clone recipe for it. :-/

Keg it, man!!

Maybe I'll try using an IBC tote...

I can be your "best beer un-bottler" - faster than you'd be able to pour it out! :D

Looks like you had a great time. Was she still smiling on bottle 38? I only am a brewer in my dreams, but I'd go with kegs too - I don't like the idea of sugar in the bottles. One day ...

A champion!

Just a guess but I'm thinking his post should have been in green, (blue??)

Got a kit for Christmas, now I need to make it.

ahh, just brewed up a batch of Octoberfest yesterday. It is happily bubbling away next to me right now. My son and I will bottle it next weekend and put it away until we get back from Europe. We might have to throw on another batch of Red Ale before we go.
