Wedding Weissen



On the 8th of August I bottled my beer. The ending specific gravity was 1.016 and the yield was 46 bottles plus a one litre growler. The wort tastes rather sweet and bland with the priming sugar and none of the carbonation. It took me most of the afternoon to clean and fill the bottles. Then I used the dross to water the garden. Here is a picture of me racking the beer into the bottler and of the beautiful orange hue of my first brew. The beer must undergo a second fermentation before it is consumed. This will last about a week. Then the beer ages in the bottles for another 3-5 weeks. Hopefully some will be ready for the wedding.
