Bottled last night this morning. Epic bottling session. I think I started prepping about 6 and finished at 2. Found myself asleep at one point. Tired catching up.
Other than that, all went smooth.
Primed with 165gms dextrose dissolved in ~ 1 cup/8oz boiling water
Smells great. Flavour follows aroma. This will be as nice as the first one. It is a simple flavour and I'm sure we will enjoy it but I'd like to get some other single hop beers done.
There was a bit of residual yeast and I think there is still a decent amount still suspended. the style is for a bit of a haze appearance. It looks on the money to me.
Capping experiment.
The idea is to use some glass twist tops and regular crown bottles. Compare for carbonation.
I don't know about the performance of the capper this time. Didn't seem to be sealing crowns as well. Last time I ran the bottles through twice. This time when I did them a 2nd time I found the crowns were depressed in the centre. The whole surface area of the cap where the bottle opening/mouth is underneath was sunken in. The cap didn't seem to be as well curled round. Don't have one from last batch to look at. will grab one tomorrow and see.
might need to replace the bell.
