76 bottles filled, all the cleaning up done and everything put away in just over an hour
And a lot of that time was waiting for the 2nd batch of beer to rack to the bottling bucket.
There is a lot to be said for rinsing and cleaning bottles out after use each time. A quick rinse instead of standing at the sink for hours scrubbing with a brush, squirt with starsan and its ready to go.
In other news, had to go to the local shop to get some water to mix starsan with. Don't use use Evian, it was all they had and as soon as I added the starsan it went milky. Couldn't test it but had enough from my previous batch to compete the job. Tesco tomorrow for some ashbeck I think.
