Beer Me Strength, part 2 - The Bottling

 While I (not so) patiently await for our disc of pro pictures to arrive from our photographer, I have one last wedding planning recap left to share - one I am particularly proud of, the making of our wedding favors. 

When we decided to make our own beer for the wedding, we knew it was going to be a full-family experience ... at least, the bottling would be.  We left the brewing to our resident expert.  However, converting several Ale Pails worth of I Do Brew into 175 brown bottles called for a morning of super family fun.

Practicing capping bottles.

The Muscle.

Here's to BrewSeester MOH, fill 'er up and drink 'er down!

Constant supervision by the assistant Brew-puppy.

One down, 174 to go.

MOB and I dunked the pasteurized bottles in a second sanitizing solution, assembly-style.

 We really enjoyed our job.

  The beer actually carbonates in the bottle, so BrewSeester added the magic fizzies to each.  

And slowly, but surely, the boxes filled up.

After a couple weeks of carbonation, the beer left the bottle shop (Seester's kitchen) and headed to Labeling (MOB's kitchen).

 The finished product!  The I Do Brew, care of Schmitz and Giggles Brewing Company, a Belgian-style wheat ale with hints of citrus and spice - brewed with love and the passion of the Brewmaster!
