Last weekend Kathy and I bottled the Churchill Summer Quencher and this week the kids helped me bottle my other batch, Hob's Lick Tan Ale (which has more of an amber appearance. Now I have one brew almost ready to drink and one which will be ready soon. One trick I use is to make one bottle of each batch a clear bottle. Corona or something similar is good for this. By making a clear bottle you can look at it and tell when the yeast are done and have dropped to the bottom as sediment. This will mean your beer is carbonated and ready to chill and quaff!
The Churchill was not quite 100% ready but I split a bottle with Kathy anyway. She said it was good and I agree it's not bad for a quick first rush batch of the year.
