Bottling — step 3

Media_http4bpblogspot_egmdb

The beer goes from the priming tub into the bottles, then we cap the bottles. The red thing that looks like the Flying Nun’s headgear is the bottle capper.

The bottles will sit for two more weeks while the yeast feeds on the sugar we just added. The yeast creates carbon dioxide that has nowhere to go, so the beer will become carbonated (it’s been tasty but flat up to now). Theoretically, the flavor will also mellow, and we’ll have finished beer around New Year’s Eve.
