    Yet Another Kilte Hamebrew, Part II

    It's time to bottle my Amnesia Olde Ale - actually, I should have bottled a few weeks ago.

    The first pic is my setup of sanitized bottles, carboy ready to rack to the bottling bucket and a surprise! When I got my bottles out, I found a full, 22 oz. bottle of a brew I made a year ago, or maybe two? It is a Spiced Holiday Ale and tasted yummy!



    The pic I took of racking (siphoning) from the carboy was out of focus, ah well. This next one is me bottling from the bucket. It has a valve at the end of the cane that opens by pushing up.



    Me and my bounty. (30 and a half 16 oz. bottles and three 22 oz. bottles.) It has a nice carmelly, malty flavor with a nice hop bite. It will be at least 2 months until this is ready to drink. Hmmm, that's when my Matt Newsome MacDonald of Glencoe box pleat is due. I shall toast a hand made with a home made !!

    Those bottles would be perfect for the cargo pockets of a UK.

    Good job, wish I could try one!:beer:

    Fantastic! One of the most interesting parts of this forum is the number of different things we do. I especially appreciate the home brewing. Just tasted our Christmas Ale here. It's a Scottish Ale with some extras. Glad there are others who brew.
    Happy Christmas to all.

    You could drink them now if you like flat beer. I too home brew. I think for next Christmas I am giving my dad, brother, and brother-in-law 12 different beers (1 brewed a month) in a galvinized buckett.
