That Kolsch I brewed a few weeks ago is almost ready to be racked off to tertiary so it can take some time to clear. Not only that, but I have a California Common in primary that I also need to rack! How in the world did this happen?!?

Before I know it I’ll have three or four beers ready to drink, and no kegerator to keep them cold. I’m dreading cleaning out the bottling bucket. At least I still have my bench capper, but I haven’t used that in two years! Do I have to bottle it? My saving grace is a cooler tucked away under the stairs in which I’m hoping still resides several one liter swing top bottles, 24 ounce cap bottles, a couple 16 ounce bottles too. I’m not willing to try carbonating in screw top growlers though. I bet I can scrounge up ten of those pretty easily. Wait, my wife reads this… um, I only have one or two. Honest.

Wish me luck, maybe toss me a reminder in a day or two if I haven’t racked it yet!

Cheers,
Tony
