Hi all,
Total beginner here. This morning I stuck a Mangrove Jack kit (Pale Ale) into the fermenter as per the instructions. This was then put in the fridge in the garage, which is set to 21 degrees C. All good so far (barring an OG reading of 1.090. I think I screwed up the reading though).
My question is around bottling. I intend bottling using the dishwasher in the kitchen as per a guide I read somewhere, but the garage is a bit away and I'll have to haul the fermenter up a few steps. I expect this to slosh around and disturb the trub. How can I avoid this and avoid lots of sediment in my beer? I'm sure this is faced by others so what are my potential options here?
I could bottle in the garage but its under the house and not a very sterile environment. There's also nowhere for spills to go so I'd like to avoid this if possible.
Any help appreciated!
Rob
