Bottling And Capping Your Home Brewed Beer

Bottling and capping your beer is easy, even if you are drunk as a sailor.

The most important thing to keep in mind is to avoid oxygenating the beer when you are transporting it from your fermenting bucket to your bottling bucket, and then to the bottles.

You'll be adding priming sugar to the beer to get the carbonation during the bottling period which lasts about 7-10 days.

@kahegara jesstk77 is right, there is no need to pitch yeast when bottling unless you age a beer or cold condition for a long time. If you are pitching yeast for the first time, then yes, you want to shake the yeast in the brewing container... otherwise, no...

great idea by using the microwave. dont see that alot

Did you use a heading agent on your brew?

I put my bottling bucket over the dish washer and open the door. Anything I spill drops into the trap on the door. Clean up is as easy as shutting the door and running a cycle.

hi. if i leave my cleaned and sanitised bottles sit for a few hours before i fill them is that likely to cause infection?

You should really use a secondary fermenter (carboy) to clear up any sediment or solids inside the primary container. I find that it dramatically reduces any transfer of sediment. I also never saw anyone use a microwave to dissolve the priming sugar before. Good tip. I use 22oz bottles for my bottling to save on caps and ease of sanitizing. I rarely drink only one beer anyway lol. Cheers and keep it up!

There is no yeast added at this stage. The yeast is added at the beginning of the fermentation process, about a week earlier than this step. You are right about wanting to oxygenate the wort when you add the yeast.

Great video. I just wanted to know about the yeast, dont you need to give more oxygen to the brew by taking a cup and doing the pouring thing? Or is it better just to shake the yeast in the brewing container.
