  Remove all the bottling equipment from the sanitizing solution in your bottling bucket and place it in the additional 5 gallon bucket. Then add a couple of gallons of the sanitizing solution from the bottling bucket in the event you need it. Discard the remainder of the sanitizing solution from the sport glass bottles bucket and let it drain.

  Okay let's get going. Just remember everything that will touch the beer has to stay sanitary.

  Gently add the priming solution to the bottling bucket. It does not matter if it is still warm. Make use of the newly sanitized racking cane and siphon hose to move your beer out of the fermenter into the bottling bucket. Place the end of the siphon hose on the bottom of the bottling bucket. Don't permit your beer to splash during the course of the transfer, you should not add any extra oxygen to your beer at this stage. Keep the intake of your racking cane just above the sediment in the fermenter. You do not want the sediment in the bottling bucket. Once all the beer is in the plastic-glass tumbler bucket lift it up on to the counter or table. Gently stir it with a sanitized large spoon to make certain that the priming solution is evenly mixed in the beer.

  Place your bottle caps in a bowl along with some sanitizing solution. Connect the hose with the bottling wand to the spigot on the bottling bucket. Turn on the spigot. Don't do this unless you are actually using a bottling wand along with its own valve.

  At long last it's time to start bottling your beer! The bottling wand features a handy valve on the tip. To use it simply just press it against the bottom of your bottle and allow it to fill up. Stop just short of overfilling and take out the wand. This should result in the right fill height. Your beer should be ? of an inch from the top. Position a sanitized cap onto the top of the bottle and utilize your capper to secure the cap. Many brewers will just put caps on the filled bottles and wait to cap a number of them at that time. Do whichever is simpler for you or get somebody to help out capping the bottles.

  When you finish capping, look over every single strainer glass bottle to make certain that the cap is properly sealed. When all of the bottles are filled they'll need to be rinsed off to get rid of any beer from the outside. Make sure that you also clean all of your bottle filling equipment. It's easier to clean right after you are finished using it. Furthermore cleaning the equipment immediately will avoid many possible sanitation issues during future uses.

  Now that you have bottled all of your beer it needs time to correctly condition. The bottles need to be kept upright in a place away from the light at a temperature between 65 -75 F. This conditioning process will take at the very least 10 days. If possible your bottles should be permitted to condition for 3-4 weeks.

  Obviously you will certainly be quite anxious to try your beer so after 10 days cool off a bottle or two. When you open a bottle there should be the familiar "hiss" when it's carbonated. Bottle conditioned beer is better enjoyed in a glass. Slowly pour it into a glass being careful to keep the sediment inside your vacuum food flask. Have your first taste! How is it? If it is not very carbonated it needs more conditioning time. If your beer tastes good give yourself a pat on the back and enjoy!

  When you feel that the beer is properly conditioned it should preferably be stored at cellar temp or in the fridge.
