Well, Batch #1 made it to bottle this weekend. That was a fun experience. I went and bought a dozen 22oz bottles and 4 one-gallon jugs. It seemed the most economical and made the most sense as far as consumption.
I boiled one cup of water and added the priming sugar to that and stirred till it dissolved. Then I added that to a bucket and siphoned the beer into that bucket to mix up with the sugar. For those that may not know, the priming sugar is added so that the yeast left in the beer will have something to eat in the bottle. The end result when you open it up is carbonation, something every good beer should have.
I then filled up the 22oz bottles and as I was about to start to fill up the jugs I noticed they didn't come with lids. Shit. I didn't have the time then to go back and get lids, so I improvised. I had some two liter bottles lying around, so I cleaned and sanitized them. Then I finished my bottling. They need to sit for two weeks and then it drinky, drinky.
