Bottled today. And knock on wood... like most everything else thus far I think all is still well. I'd hoped to bottle sooner, but couldn't get to it and from what I gather, the beer does a better job of waiting on me than it would were I to hurry.
I almost enjoyed bottling it as much as the brewing.
After filling 48 bottles, there was just enough to fill a 12 oz glass a little more than 1/2 full. So of course I had to taste it. And from the taste of it, I'm going to have a long 3 or 4 weeks waiting and keeping myself out of it.
The color was beautiful too. I know I'm biased, but it has to be the prettiest beer I've ever seen.
My wife has some idea about me starting an exercise program tomorrow. If I can get out of it by Wednesday, I'm going to brew a porter extract kit.
