Bottling day for Abundant Fields Witbier! Unlike many brewers, I enjoy bottling. Some brewers go into kegging because of how much they dislike bottling, but I've got our process locked in and it only takes about an hour, from start to finish. One key is that we rinse bottles clean after we enjoy their contents, so they are easier to clean before bottling. I also use the miracle product hyped by the late Billy Mayes - Oxiclean! Soak the bottles in Oxiclean and rinse well, and they are ready to go. We also use a pump called a Vinator, which shoots saniitizing solution (idophor) into the bottle and hang the bottles on a bottling tree to dry.
In any case, Abundant Fields Witbier is now in the bottle, conditioning in a warm place and we'll open one up in about two weeks, to see how its developing. Stay tuned.
