Bottling day for the Hard Cidef

I was a little late bottling this batch but not to worried about that. After siphoning the cider from the carboy I added a small amount of priming sugar and gave it a taste. It tastes like a flat sparkling cider, so I'm thinking the carbonation from bottling will make this batch shine!

9 12oz bottles, 2 14oz bottles

Updates: After a few months on bottles, it tastes like sour apple cider. Not sure what went wrong, but an interesting experiment to say the least.

Bottling day for the Belgian Trippel

After siphoning the beer into the bottling bucket. I tried the uncarbonated brew, it's delicious. You can taste that it's a higher alcohol beer(7-8%). Then sanitized the bottles, added the priming sugar and started filling them up. The batch yielded 40 bottles of various sizes.
