I did a lot of bottling today. The Golden Stag made 22 litres, then I moved one of the demijohns of Pinot Chardonnay in to six and a bit bottles for ease of drinking. The remnants were disposed of appropriately. I completely forgot to measure the gravity of the beer before adding the priming sugar.
To celebrate I thought I would try some of the IPA. The head was excellent, creamy and long lasting, and the taste was fine. I am sure it will get smoother over time, but it is already drinkable.
I now have nothing major going at all for the first time in ages. I have over forty litres of IPA and golden stag to work my way through. I suspect that if I open a 1 litre bottle that will get drunk so in reality it is about 40 drinking nights. At my current rate of progress the beer will be gone by Christmas. Wine goes much faster, so the next project is going to be a rosé kit, thought I have not yet bought one.
