Bottling Day! (6/27/16)

After fermenting for 10 days, it was clear that the beer was not bubbling anymore (the entire foamy "head" had disappeared and no air was coming out of the airlock). I took a reading from the hydrometer, which I also did right before letting the wort ferment, and used the two readings to determine that my beer was 6.7% alcohol!

The hydrometer (should not be touching the sides for the actual reading):

After that, I prepared the priming sugar and added it to the wort, siphoned into this bucket without all the sediment from the fermentor:

All the leftover dead yeast and other sediment - yuck:

Then we siphoned the beer into bottles and capped them:

The (almost) finished product: 8 bottles of 6.7% American Red Ale.

Now all that's left is to let them carbonate for 2 weeks and then we will have delicious beer to drink. Christian and I tried the beer as-is and it was already pretty good!
