I took a gravity reading and it was 1.015. I decided that I didn't have a whole lot of time this week so I started bottling today.
This morning I picked up a second 5 gallon bucket and siphoned from the bottling bucket I fermented in and let it sit. Then I siphoned back into the bottling bucket. I think it helped to clear up some of the gunk a little better.
All in all I think the process has been rather fun. Definitely will do it again as long as the fruits of my labor provide a decent return. ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/laugh-18.png)
Again, thanks to everyone for all the help!

Hess- It's been a while since I did the Mensa thing, but one thing for sure, those people do know how to party. Especially the Ft. Lauderdale and Miami groups. Give it a shot, I'm sure you qualify.
Well another report. My wife and I were invited to a friends house for a beer tasting. Guess what I brought? Guess what won!?
Yep, my homebrew. This was my prize too!

Good to hear inspirational stories, my bonus just came in and I have $383 sitting around and an urge to start with home brew ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/laugh-18.png)

The fun part has been having the neighbors over to help and drink. Good way to make friendships.
$383 is PLENTY to start. Nothing like drinking a beer you made. Bud/Miller/Coors doesn't make what you want? Make your own. Grassroots beer ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/evil-18.png)
