    Every thing will be just fine if you have your bottles and caps clean.
    Cheers!

    How did it go? SOmehting always goes wrong/unplanned. First time I bottled I ran out of bottles and drank a bunch (6-7?) beers so I could use the bottles.
    Next up: A Beer.

    Prim: air

    That's not something going wrong, that's something going awesome.

    That's excellent!

    I've found that as you go through bottling a few times, you either develop a method that makes it easy or you start kegging

    Everything went well. We had plenty of bottles but that didn't stop us from drinking a few in the process. The only thing that I worry a little about is that I don't think we mixed the sugar up very well. When we got to the bottom of the bottling bucket there was quite a bit of sugar setting at the bottom. I hope this doesn't end up under carbing my beer. I just figured it might just take a little longer to carb? Anyone have any input?
