My wonderful wife had secretly purchased some bottles, caps and a capper to give ot me at Christmas. But the Blue Boar was ready to bottle so out they came to be put in to use. The gravity of the beer had fallen to 1009, which was exactly what I would have expected given the sugar/spraymalt combination and my careful reading of the instructions.
I sterilised carefully and used a new barrel with tap and bottling attachment. I only had 24 bottles so recycled some and used some of my left over PET ones. I also bought some new PET ones yesterday for the perry, which needs bottling.
