Beer: Bottling the Stout

11:00:19 MST on Sunday November 20 2005 #

On Friday we bottled the stout after five weeks of conditioning in the carboy. In another couple of weeks it should be ready to taste - though further conditioning should improve it's flavor. I'm guessing from the hydrometer readings that it's about 4.2% alcohol. The small sample I tasted, tasted sweet and stouty, a very good sign, as the IPA tasted evil at this point.

This morning I applied the handsome new labels, (yes that's a turkish mosaic you see in the center), and now all there is too do is wait.
