Bottling the IPA

So after convincing J that there IS enough hops in the IPA, and the foam settled, last evening we bottled.

It was uneventful and went smoothly, we did stir in the bottling sugars a little more this time.

Checking the SG - we're still not sure about the finished alcohol level, it appears to be a little above 3%...

The finished product - We're meeting in two weeks to sample and share. This time, we're fermenting the bottles of beer in different locations to see if there's any environmental impact. We ended up with 52 bottles this time, up from 47 from the first batch.
