Bottling Instructions

STEP 1		Begin by washing, sanitizing and rinsing enough bottles to hold 5 to 6 gallons of beer, wine or other product. Then sanitize all your equipment.
STEP 2		Soak your bottle caps in a sanitizing solution.
STEP 3		Take a final hydrometer reading of sample from carboy.
STEP 4		If you are Bottle Conditioning...boil 3/4 cup corn sugar (5 ounces) in one cup of water and pour into priming bucket. Using your racking tube (or Auto Siphon) and tubing, siphon beer out of your carboy into your priming bucket leaving all sediment behind.
STEP 5		Rinse your racking tube and hose and attach it to the spigot at the bottom of your priming bucket. Place bucket on counter or surface above your actual bottling work station. Attach bottle filler to other end of tubing and open spigot.
STEP 6		Place filler all the way down into each bottle until it touches the bottom of the bottle. Press the filler down against the bottom and the bottle will start to fill. Fill the bottle to the very top, when you remove the filler the liquid will drop to the appropriate level.
STEP 7		Place a cap or other closure on each bottle and secure with your bottle capper or corker.
STEP 8		Put the bottles away in a cool dark place. If you are Bottle Conditioning... you may want to test a bottle in ten days to two weeks to see your progress.
