beer Grass Snake has a brewing thread??

I almost said the same, but let him off the hook as it was his 1st batch ...
 
Next time, though ... put that extra in a mason jar with an airlock, and if you need to top it off some - add some fruit juice and get creative ...
 
Good stuff ...
 
 
Finally got the beer in bottles yesterday. Good thing the Wife helped cause that was alot of work.

Why didn't I listen to Ozzy when he said stay away from the short neck bottles? I washed a bunch of short necks just to find out my capper wouldn't work on them. It did tho with another short neck I practiced on previously so I thought it was all good, maybe my capper could handle both, apparently not..
 
I have the same capper. It will work, it's just a little more difficult. After you bottle a couple of times it's not bad. I can bottle a 5 gal batch in about 20-30 mins, assuming my bottles are cleaned and ready to go.

Setup is key. I do mine above the dishwasher. I sit in a chair and just cap on the counter 6pack at a time.
 
Can't go by looks unfortunately. Definitely get a hydrometer. The krausen dropped but that just means the fementatuon stopped. It could stop at 1.038, which could definitely be an issue.
