Understand. I always rinse mine out after pouring a glass of brew it makes the wash easier. I think my next brew will be a stout. Love them!

I was just talking to one of my coworkers about this earlier today. He has been making his own wine for almost forty years now.

He is in the process of making some apple wine and will be heading down to Georgia in a few weeks to visit family and pick up a couple bushels of peaches to make some peach wine.

Yup, I don’t know any homebrewer who likes the bottling process. That’s why you may look into kegging. It’s not as difficult as you might think. There’s a bit of cost up front, but man, the amount of time saved is very worth it.

Also, you don’t have to wait 2-3 weeks for the beer to carbonate in the bottle. In fact, if you were in a hurry you can force carbonate a keg and have beer ready in a day! Not ideal, but I’ve done it.
