I decided to show how I go about getting the finished beer into the bottles. I tried a few more sexy setups earlier on - one of these setups the fermenter on the counter in the kitchen, myself sitting on the floor and putting the beer bottles up under the tap. The end results were some tired arms and beer on the floor and with three cats in the house it was a recipe for disaster.So I moved the operation into the laundry room. It took me awhile to find something that could support the weight of the fermenter! That thing is freak'n heavy.
But as you can see I was able to find a suitable device. (A old P2 computer!)This beer I left the hops in while it fermented. See the top bulge in the white bag at the top left? All hops :D
Keep in mind the previous post First All Grain Brew where I thought this was going to be a failure due to the color of the beer being DARK and not the light colored blond I was shooting for. Fortunately it came out ORANGE :D Which is an unexpected result but still better then a dark beer :) I am happy with this result because as the yeast stops partying and goes to sleep they settle onto the bottom of the bottles with the other sediment and the beer clears! Check the right side here for Chris' Cellar to see the dates and the current stage things are in.
Without further aduuuuuuu here are two videos shows the exciting process.
