Bottling
I sanitized 48 bottles in my dishwasher. No soap, no sanitizer, just the 190 degree heat. I have had 0 problems with this method ever since I got the dishwasher a year and a half ago.
Soon as my wife is done eating dinner, I am going to boil 3/4 cup of priming sugar for 10 minutes then chill in an ice bath in the sink.
Here I am filling my bottling bucket with sanitizer and soaking my auto siphon and bottling wand. I will fill the container of caps and my spray bottle with the solution in the bucket when I drain.
I prime the siphon with the sanitizer to let it soak.
I boil the 3/4 cup priming sugar with a pint of water for 5 mins.
Then cool it just until it's cool enough to touch the bottom of the pan.
My bottling line... L to R: Sanitized bottles, beer, bottling bucket, priming sugar, siphon and bottling wand, capper, rinse bucket, and empty cases.
Priming sugar is already dumped into the bucket, so my lovely wife is racking onto it. She supports beer.
I then fill the bottles...
...and she caps them. Note the Troegs Brewfest shirt because she rocks!!!
Everything is capped and then gets a quick dip in a bucket of warm water. I like to rinse the beer off of them.
And they are cased up and ready to store in the basement at 65-70 degrees for 2-3 weeks.
