Bottling day proved to be quite the challenge for Tammy’s Peache Blonde Ale. First, siphoning into the bottling bucket – had some challenges with bits of peaches clogging the bottom of the auto-siphon. More peach remnants got into the bottling bucket than I thought would. Second, peach remnants clog up the bottling wand too. Had to stop more than once to clean it out, hoping the starting and stopping didn’t cause to much oxygen to get into the beer. Time will tell. Glad Tammy was filling while I capped – I wouldn’t have been as patient as she was.
Lesson learned – if using peaches (or any other fruits) in fermenter, put them in a muslin bag, or put a bag over the siphon tube.
