Pilsner Bottled

Tonight I put up 36 16 ounce Grolsch bottles of the Pilsner brewed late last month. Final gravity was 1.012, adjusted to 60F. A preliminary sip from the hydrometer vessel indicates a hoppy brew with lots of flavor character. Should be good stuff once it carbonates. I'll be trying this stuff out on Xmas!

All the supplies and equipment have been cleaned up and put away. Total time, including cleaning and sanitizing all the counter space and the table in the kitchen, mopping the floor before getting started, washing/rinsing/sanitizing/rinsing the 40 bottles and their seals: about 3.5 hours. It is a lengthy process, even when you are starting from "clean" bottles. Wish it was faster.

Anyway, now we wait and see how it turns out!
