bottling KT

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am making my first batch and wanted to make sure I am correct on

bottling. I read two different ways. One was to bottle right away and

put in the fridge and the other says to bottle and leave out a couple

of days and let the CO2 to escape and then put in refridgerator. The

other question was do I fill the bottles up to the rim and then cap or

leave a little space. Read both also. Thanks for any help.

In my bottling, I leave a space. I have found that if I don't leave a nice

airspace that it doesn't get bubbly, or not as much. I think this may vary

for each individual brewing environment and the thing to do is experiment

until you find your best way.

Same here: the bottles without space left are less fizzy than the

bottles with space left.
