BOTTLING
We recommend sourcing “pry off” bottles and use our capping kit. Having a
friend to help bottle your beer will make the job much easier.
1. Rinse bottles with warm water insuring there is no sediment
at the bottom.
2. Next you will sanitize your bottles, bottling funnel, tubing, 50 caps and
a spoon for mixing. Mix the rest of your sanitizer in a bucket or large
pitcher with 1 gallon of warm water. Soak all of the bottles, caps and
components in the solution for 60 seconds each to sanitize. Place the
components on a fresh sheet of paper towels and set aside.
3. In a small pot add about 2 cups of water and exactly 2/3 cup of table
sugar. The sugar will give the remaining yeast food to carbonate your
beer once bottled. Heat on medium-high and stir in the sugar until fully
dissolved. Boil for 5 minutes then cover and let cool.
4. Once the pot and sugar water are completely cool it is now time to add
the sugar mixture directly to The Catalyst then stir gently and thoroughly
with a sanitized spoon.
5. Attach the tubing to the bottling funnel and the tubing clamp at the
end of the tubing. Close the valve, take off the mason jar, set aside
and screw on the bottling funnel. There may be some spilling that occurs
when removing the mason jar so be sure to have a plate under it to catch
any liquid. Fill the bottles slightly higher than where the neck starts,
cap and repeat.
6. Store the bottles in a room temperature, dark place for two weeks to
let the beer condition and carbonate.
7. Refrigerate, drink and enjoy!
