Bottling Day – Molasses Porter and English Mild

Just a quick update on my last two home brews. I racked both of them today which required me to use every single bottle I own. I could not begin to tell you how many bottles I got, but its probably around 70 pints between the both of them.

Too be honest I kind of rush both of them and did not take an accurate measurement for the priming sugar. It should have worked out to about 1/2 cup of dextrose each, but I kind of eye-balled it.

Molasses Porter –

  • Born May 2, Secondary May 16th, Bottled May 29
  • Original Gravity: 1.056
  • Final Gravity: 1.020 (S-33 SafAle yeast sucks)
  • ABV: 4.7%, Calories/Pint: 250kcal
  • Cost per pint: ~$1.00-$1.25

English Mild –

  • Born May 8, Secondary May 16th, Bottled May 29
  • Original Gravity: 1.034
  • Final Gravity: 1.009 (S-04 SafAle yeast rocks)
  • ABV: 3.2%, Calories/Pint: 150kcal
  • Cost per pint: ~$0.70-$0.80

Finally I will give both 7-14 days to bottle condition. I have so much beer downstairs right now I do not even know what to do with it.

And here is the real crazy thing… I created an experimental cider today too. I used 2 gallons of cranberry cocktail, 1 can of frozen pineapple juice concentrate and topped it with water. Worst of all I just pitched this on top of the yeast cake from my molasses porter! What was I thinking!? Original gravity is 1.038 and god have mercy on my soul for this monstrosity I am creating.
