Kansas City Wheat Beer: Bottling – February 20, 2006
Specific gravity measured at ~1.019.
Fermentation activity marginal. I am deciding to bottle now to ensure that I get decent carbonation. Fifty four bottles ( 48 – new, 6 – used) were washed in the dishwasher on ‘Heavy’ with Cascade dish washing detergent. The beer has a very nice odor. The color is darker than traditional wheat beers. Of the clean bottles, only 50 were used. There was some loss during filling, some beer was left in the secondary fermenter with the residual trub. The fifty bottles were put back in the cardboard box and relocated to the basement room. I have not measured the temperature of the room yet.
This guy is wear a shirt to stay out of the light. It doens’t take much UV light to skunk up a nice batch of beer.
The Kansas City Wheat beer strips off the shirt. Notice the white band of sedement left on the bottom of the secondary.
Capping with a butterfly capper. This will cost you about 10-15, I believe.
