Default First Bottling

Got my first batch bottled after work on Friday - 3 gallons of triple berry skeeter pee. So far, so good. The wine isn't quite ready to drink yet, but it is progressing very quickly. Can't wait to see what it's like in a few weeks.

Despite the difficulty I had on my dry run a few nights earlier, this run went very smoothly. Put all the bottles in buckets, and filled from there using an auto siphon and bottling wand. Only lost about two ounces in the whole process. By the time it was all done, I had fifteen bottles of pee.

Now that they have had a couple days to rest, I'll throw some labels and foils on them.

Awesome, but you know this just leads to more bottles later, right?
