Just thought I’d let you know how my brewing expedition is going. Today I finally got to bottle my homebrew. It didn’t go as smoothly as I had planned. For starters I discovered that I did not have the required corn sugar for the bottling process. After shopping around early in the morning I found that a local home brew shop had what I was looking for.
I raced home to get started. I have to admit the smell from my fermenting bucket was intoxicating. An encouraging sign after a few weeks of waiting. Unfortunately, I’d have to wait a little bit longer. My siphon failed to work and eventually broke, forcing me to run out and buy a second one. Once I was back in business I bottled my brew and am now waiting another two weeks before sampling.
We shall see if I was successful or not!
