Just be careful capping the Budweiser bottles the glass can be a little thin.

I have the same beer bottle conditioning at the moment, needs a couple more weeks. I can't wait to taste it now

Enjoy your first bottling because it will very quickly lose its charm ;-)
Tapped: Brown Porter, Dortmunder, Rye IPA
Bottled: Barrel RIS, Barrel Red Flanders, Oatmeal Stout
Fermenting: Barrel triple, NEIPA
Planned: Pilsner, Hazy Pale Ale, something Belgian

a bottle tree and sterilizer makes easy work of 40 pint bottles. you'll get the whole lot done in about 15 minutes  :)

Hey Guyz,

Sorry for gettin bk late but been 1 of those wks....

Successful bottled all me bottles nd used coopers drops for carb... Thank no bottles broke but def gona take advice nd invest bit more equip, bottling tree nd larger bottles, will do a bulk priming next time aswell
I was very curious nd had couple bottles the wknd after 1 wk conditioning... I know bit way to early but it tasted pretty clean but still bit flat...
Head retention wasn't great at all, it was very rich nd malty tasting bit too much for my liking, gona cut down on spray malt nd maybe do a 50/50 mixture instead...

I def be getting a better yeast next time also help fermentation nd add more banana notes.

On a different note for my next batch, I hav question out adding Vanilla Extract ( gd quality) , it's a Madagascan vanilla, does any1 hav any thoughts on this?
