BEER! Step # 2: Bottling
Sterilizing(?) and prepping bottles (drank by Kent & Me):
Filling them bottles and capping them bottles:
Finishing off (only half!) the brew with one growler:
We'll be doing a simultastecast™ in about 3 weeks!

looks like a lot of fun! i hope the simultastecast involves a lot of descriptive words like 'tasty' and 'fizzy'.
you owe me $0.10 a bottle, $0.15 in Michigan...
Is it drankable yet?
Nope, it's gotta bottle condition for about 3 weeks.
You drop in a tsp. of sugar in each bottle before filling and capping.
The yeast that's left in the brew once again goes to work on the newly introduced (priming) sugar in it's new glass bottle home. Yeast eats the sugar and creates the CO2 that can't escape and makes the beer fizzy. also adds another % or 2 alcohol I think.
We did a primary tasting last night as well. My tastebuds are still deciding whether "tasty" is an appropriate description, but "fizzy most certainly is not at this juncture. Will the bottling turn our stale prison hooch into a brilliantly brewed badass beer bonanza?! Stay tuned for the simultastecast to find out!!
I know that it is gonna be called Two Rude Dewds Crude Brew, but on top of that name you could call it Delicious Fizz if it's good, and if it ends up bad call it something yucky like YEAST INFECTION
those are two FANTASTIC names. the brand can be T.R.D.C.B. but then these could be names of the different types you put out. delicious fizz could be some standard pale ale while yeast infection could be something close to a lambic - sour-er (from open air spontaneous fermentation).
More like Yeast Perfection, more like.
If some go bad, we'll make Russian Roulette 6 packs where 5 are good and 1 is disgusting.
