Brew2 Bottling

Equipment: bottles (0.5L, 1L, and 2L), caps, racking cane, bucket with spigot and bottle filler, hydrometer, iodophor, boil pot, jars (1 ~48oz, 2 10oz)

Steps:
  1. Boil jars for 20 mins 
    1. Boiled jars the night before
  2. Cap boiled water in jars 
  3. Put jars in water bath to cool
  4. Sanitize all equipment
  5. Rack to bucket with spigot
    1. Siphoning is still a problem. May need to modify racking cane slightly or by longer tubing.
    2. Spigot attachment is shaky, otherwise bucket is perfect
  6. Add water to fermenter 
  7. Fill bottles and cap
  8. Measure FG
    1. FG: 1.008
  9. Pour yeast water off top to large jar 
  10. Let yeast water settle 20 mins 
  11. Divide top of yeast water among jars

Cheers!
