Bottling Day

Well I actually bottled Saturday but am just now getting around to posting. Been pretty busy around here getting ready for the new baby to come. Less then 2 weeks left!!! WooHoo!!!

Not much to say. Bottled up the Toutle River Tart and the DuceDuce WCPA.

Here is a picture of the two squads. The Toutle River Tart is in the front in 12oz bottles and the DuceDuce WCPA in the back.


With the DuceDuce name I thought it only be appropriate that the beer go into 22oz bottles :)


Here we have the bottles with their labels on.


Very Important Tip About Labels!!

My first attempt at labels I bought some Avery 3"x4" and they worked great. That is until it was time to take them off. Lets just say a 24hr soak in warm water and oxi-free out back in the ice-chest and an additional 4hrs of elbow grease and Goo Gone they finally came off. Then I had to thoroughly clean the bottles.

New way of labeling: Simply print the labels on plain paper, cut out, and apply to the bottles with Elmers Glue Stick. They hold perfectly fine in storage and come right off under running water. Yes, Running water!! No more scrubbing, rubbing, finger nail scraping and cussing!
