A couple of days ago I took the IPA off the “trub” and put it in to my vessel that has a tap.  Today I had time to bottle it, and thanks to eBay I have a variety of colour caps to choose from. The final alcohol content comes up as 4% which is a bit odd, as the pack said 5.5%.  I topped up with 80ml of sugar (half a teaspoon per pint) to add the fizz.   And in the process I lost the instructions for how long to wait, but I guess usual rules apply – warm place for a few days then off to the cellar for another couple of weeks for testing in mid March although this thread suggests that you leave it far longer.  I’m going to need more bottles if I have to store stuff for so long.

I find the tap/bottling wand awkward to use, so may investigate using it on the end of a hose.  I have three sizes, so one should work.

I am also pondering labels this time.  They looked cool on the cider.
