Bottled Cinn

Yup, we did it last night.  We figured out how to bottle Cinn.  We're gonna make a fortune! :)



Okay, so it's mead and wine, and we're not selling, because I don't want to get a license to do so.  But we did bottle the Cinnful Cyser and the cinnful Apple Wine. We wanted to bottle the Holiday Cinn, too, but it was not clear yet. Oh, well. Guess it will be for next winter. The Cinnful bottles look so pretty. We bottled most of the mead in little half bottles so that my assistant mazer could give some to friends and family. One of the two gallons of Holiday Cinn is his (when we made the original batch of cyser, he waited all of a week before running out and getting a gallon of apple juice to make his own), but since it wouldn't be ready before he leaves to go home at the end of the week, I told him he could have the original cyser batch, all but 2 bottles I already had plans for (one long term aging, one a Christmas present).




With all the bottling we have been doing (especially that big batch of JAO) I'm going to need to figure out a better, more permanent storage solution. I have almost an entire case of JAO bottles sitting on the floor of my brew closet, in a vertical position. Erg. Some of them will be able to go on racks once the holidays are over (many bottles are being wrapped for under the tree, and many more will be drunk without being wrapped), but I have another 6 gallons brewing (and burping VERY loudly, I might add). I also have a lot of wine that will need much more aging, and I would just rather have that go on somewhere out of the way. *shrug* Something to deal with after the holidays.
