Yesterday I decided to bottle 25 litres of Sorceror's Gold that I got from my mate.
I normally hate bottling, but having just taken delivery of a new bench crown capper, bottle tree and rinser, I quite enjoyed it. Sure, the novelty will wear off but beer looks a damn sight better in 500ml brown glass bottles instead of 2l PET bottles. Look less of a wino. Took 3 bloody hours bottling directly from my FV.
Everything went smoothly except one thing...........................................................................................................................................................................
I over-primed each bottle with 1 teaspoon of glucose instead of the half-spoon I should have added!
At least they will be really fizzy!

Is the rinser a thing that sits on top of the bottle tree which you push a bottle down onto? Do you use it to rinse bottles out with water or sanitiser?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about getting one to sanitise with Videne but I was concerned about contact time.
yeah it is. I used it to sterilise as I gave the bottles a quick wash in soda crystals. They were clean anyway as I had only recently removed the labels.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any experience of Videne. Is that similar to the Idophor from Brewpacks? I still think the rinser is a good purchase especially if you can make up a non-rinse sanitiser
