80/- bottling day

1/22/2012. No signs of fermentation for a week now. It must be ready. Also, my autosiphon is here and I want to play with my new toy. Susie wanted to be my helper today. She did a very good job. She was very diligent about not touching anything after she sanitized her hands. She also brought the flashlight when we needed it and put the caps on the bottles.  She also learned to read the hydrometer.  We had a final gravity of 1.011 which is a touch lower than expected, but very close.
We netted 36 of the 16 oz ez-cap bottles. The color is beautiful and the aroma is malty. The clarity is a bit lacking.  It probably could have used more time in primary but I wanted to get it bottled. There was just enough left for a sample for me. It tastes a little thin and young.  I hope it improves with its time in the bottle.
Another update about it in a few weeks when we see ifit carbonated.
