Bottling

Yesterday began the bottling run of Pozharnik, it continues today, tomorrow and Friday. We keg on Monday. Bottling the Pozharnik (and all our 1 L beers) is truly a labor of love. We do not have an automated bottler, we have a 4 bottle hand bottler. So each bottle is hand filled, hand capped, and then the shrink wrap is finally put on, by you guessed it... hand.

We have 200 cases to get out, our usually production day is about 50 cases, if all goes well. We did 25 cases yesterday, hoping for 75 today, then 50 a day for the rest of the week. We'll see how it goes. As for pitures of everything, I have to remember to bring in my camera.

Hope all is well, and time to get bottling!

Hey Dammy,
You could also setup a USB Video Camera on a Tripod (http://www.theflip.com/products.shtml) and we can watch the exciting bottling process in real time (with exciting commentary to boot)!
Cya,
