Friday was Bottling day
The second best part of brewing, Bottling day. The first being the day you crack one open and drink it. I bottled up all of my 1610 Brown Ale. I primed the beer for bottling with honey. Now the honey should not play any part in the final flavor of the beer, Due to the yeast eating it all up. Yeast loves honey. I use a ratio of 3 TBSP of honey per gallon of brew. Hopefully it turns out good. One of my brewing friends told me it will turn out carbonated like Pepsi. But that's what I am here to find out. Put weird stuff in your beer and see what happens.
Here is one of the best things you can invest in for bottling. Its a spring loaded bottle filler. When you push the filler down to the bottom of the bottle and push down the spring is compressed and allows the beer to flow and when you lift it up it stops the flow. When you pull the filler out of the bottle it leaves just the right amount of head space for the carbonation. 
Bottles all filled and done, Ready to sit for two weeks, If I can wait that long.
I even Filled up one of my Aviator Brewery growler. Can't wait to drink it and share with my friends and family. Because that's what brewing is all about.
Brew today, See you Tomorrow
