First homebrew ever was brewed Saturday night with 2 friends, with me essentially being along for the ride. I'm in charge of getting the bottles for bottling once the yeast has done it's job. Anyone in Connecticut have a lead on where to buy in person? I'd rather go in to a place, talk with someone, and pick up the equipment needed. Need to make sure I don't drop the ball on our first attempt! Thanks!
So...you are 3 days into fermentation So...you brewed beer and are ready to bottle shortly...Find a Homebrew Supply in CT or anywhere close and buy phase II : )
You have at least 2 weeks for you and your two friends to drink 2 cases of beer. I'll bet you are up for it More details, assuming this was a 5 gallon batch, you need about 50 bottles, it is better to have some extra. You also need bottle caps and a capper, something like this http://www.amazon.com/Ferrari-Red-Baron-Bottle-Capper/dp/B001D6KGTK I assume someone has a bottling bucket and bottling wand and some tubing.
Where in CT are you? There is a place in East Hartford, Brew & Wine Hobby, that I would recommend: http://brew-wine.com/ They have everything you need to start bottling, too, not just the bottles, but caps, a capper, bottling bucket, bottling wand.
Here's a list of all of the homebrew stores in CT that are listed here on BA. Maybe one is close to you. http://www.beeradvocate.com/place/l...&city=&s_id=CT&c_id=&zip=&area=&submit=Search
