The bottling of the first half of my Bourbon Barrel Barleywine:

Did it today with the help of Keely, Shamus, Moira, and my brother in law Casey. Kids at one point got a bit drenched in StarSan. {hope that's okay charlie t.!?}

2 cases of 12 oz. bottles and 2 22 oz. bottles. I primed it at 3 3/4 ounces of dextrose supposing to equal 2.3 volumes for 5 gallons. Well. It was 4.75 gallons and the beer had retained more CO2 than I had supposed.... so it'll be be closer to 'normal' 2.5 volumes. I used Wyeast 1007 German Ale. At least it's done. Now all I have is about 14 more gallonsof beers to bottle before the end of the month.... d'oh..
