Bottling Day went pretty smooth, I think, but let's see if bottles explode before we make a final decision. I had meant to take some pictures of the process, but once I was cleaning up I realized I hadn't. All said it was about a three hour process, from pulling out equipment to putting it away cleaned. The auto-siphon and racking cane were by far the MVPs of the day - both of those tools made this an extremely easy process. I ended with 24 regular 12oz bottles and 9 liter flip-top bottles.
The Final Gravity (FG) of the brew was 1.017, which means 3.3% ABV. Most beers are 5-6%. Lower than I thought it would turn out - something I will discuss with the brew shop at a later date. I tasted a bit from the draw I tested the FG on - it tasted like a beer! A flat beer, as this has not carbonated yet, but a good sign I think.
Now to plan my next brew...
