bottling advice

[dave0w]

when bottling a beer how far off the top of the bottle should you still, how much head space should there be?

i just got a little bottler, to help with filling consistency.

when using a little bottler, just fill to the very top, then when the wand is removed you will have just the right amount of head space.

+1 to the top with the bottler

If you're not using a little bottler, fill to same level as commercial beer would be filled. Why not go and buy some for "research purposes".

+1 for the fill to the top, when you withdraw the filler the level drops to the right level. :thumb:

yer i think i over filled my bottles..., would that be a problem was gassing up? i found my first brew to be a little inconsistent some are not flat but not gassed right and some are like bomb's .
there still drinkable but only just, the way over gassed ones are made because it hit and miss :lol:
