Bottling the Coopers Stout

I found a few hours and got down to washing the bottles, using the new squirting bottle cleaner Chrissie got me for Christmas, and my trusty bottle tree. It all seemed to work very well, plus  the bottles from amazon seemed to be well cleaned already.

To estimate the alcohol percentage I used (OG-FG)*0.129. This gives 1040-1006 = 34 * 0.129 = 4.4%.

Darren kindly offered to help, so with clean bottles and equipment I proceed to fill the bottles, and Darren put on the caps. We raced though it, with a few of the usual overflowed bottles on occasion when I wasn't paying attention.

All done. I will give them a few days in the house where its nice and warm before moving them somewhere cooler.
