Bottled My First Batch

Bottled up the IPA on Thursday (Feb 11). I had lots of Beau's Lug Tread bottles kicking around, so I decided to use these. Beaus use really nice, retro styled 750 ml ceramic bottles with Grolsch styled flip-top lids. I figured these would be really good to use. Boy, was I wrong. Since they are opaque, you have no idea how how full they're getting, and they all end up overflowing. On top of that, a good portion of them cracked and leaked when the carbonation started to happen. I won't be using these again.

Primed with 3/4 cup of dextrose.
