My first Home Brew Bottled!!

A while ago I wrote a post of me brewing my own beer, after fermenting for 2 weeks, it was time to bottle my own beer!! The number one rule for home brewing is to keep everything clean!! The photo below show me sanitizing my bottles, with a sanitizer.

Below is my bucket with beer, I fitted a tap with a length of plastic tube, to a normal 25 litter bucket to do the bottling.

Bottling is quite easy, just open the tap and let the bottle fill up. Before filling one must however add a small amount of sugar to each bottle, called priming, in order for carbonation to take place in the bottles.

Below you can see my 1st 15 bottles of beer, now I must wait another 3 weeks before it is ready for drinking - I can't wait to test my first home brew!!

Below is another shot of my first bottled beer!! It is an amazing feeling when you see your final product!! I am sure it will be even more amazing to taste the beer, I hope it came out good!!

I have decided to call my beer Rhino Beer as my name is Ryno pronounced Rayno in Afrikaans, but English people pronounce it as Rhino - thus Rhino is a good name for my beer.

I hope you liked my post as much as I enjoyed writing it!!

All photos were taken with my iPhone at my house in Pretoria, South-Africa.

@rynow,
Wow this is so great! Make your own beer and I think you can start a brewery too! Moreover than name also good for a beer! Feel like a Rhino! Unbeatable!

Cheers~

Yes, you never know where this can lead to, but for the moment, I am only brewing as a hobby.

How do you cap the bottles?

Now you have to think about the labels ;-)

I bought a small hand capper, it works quite easy.

Congrats on your progress for your Rhino Beer! I look forward for your updates for the taste.

2 Weeks to tasting, then I will make a post on it.

Cheers 🥂 with beers ...
