So Fine

With the testing worked out yesterday and the reading being within the range of what it should have been it was time to do another test today to see if it was time to bottle. All went according to plan, fill the container, carry it to the kitchen, bottom falls out of the container spilling beer all over the floor...oops. Maybe not quite the plan I had in mind. Clean it up before the wife sees and then try again. This time the reading was the same as yesterday 1.011. So, according to my instructions that means it is time to  bottle.

But WAIT. The beer is all cloudy and looks kinda gross. Shouldn't it be clearer? What can I do about that? Luckily the kit came with a solution too. Beer Finings. Mix it up with half a cup of warm water and then pour it in the top of the beer barrel. Looks pretty good in there and hardly smells, even with the lid off. So another two days before bottling but getting ever closer to something I can drink. Have to settle for all those tasty craft beers until then. Life ain't too bad.
