It’s been a week, and the time has come to put the brew into bottles. The kit I purchased came with caps, but bottles were 13 bucks a case, so we’ve been collecting bottles for the last week. K&J were kind enough to pitch in 12…
Also in the kit was a great filler wand with a push-pin valve on the bottom, so that you press against the bottom of the jar – filling it from the bottom, creating no foam.
Andy & the filler wand
(BTW, over the course of the last week, Andy has gotten more involved in the initiative – even though he honorarily named the vintage ‘Shenanigans’… seems every time he comes home on a weekend I’ve concocted some new thing to entertain myself with.)

Filled bottles
So, in one week they should be good to go… aging for another four weeks after that…
