Spiced Lemon Wheat - Bottling Day

It was bottling day for the Spiced Lemon Wheat this past Sunday, as James and I santized 22 12oz bottles, bottle caps, measuring spoon and cup. We filled up half way with One-Step sanitizer, gave it a good shake, let sit for 20 minutes. Probably the most important part of the process is sanitizing, if you don't sanitize well you get skunky beer, and we all know Bud has that market cornered right?? It probably took us about an hr or so to finish bottling, can't have any air get into the wort as it drains into the bottles from the fermenter, eventually I have to rack to a secondary, instead of bottle priming.


This is right after we finished bottling, James took the pic while I closely examined a Sam Adams.
