I hear you. Bottling is the definition of tedious, punctuated by short periods of panic(forgot to stir, knocked over bottles, hose came off, fruit fly in bottling bucket, etc
lets see what did I leave out.....
Somehow I managed to get my wife to assist after the first two bottling days by myself, and that helps. The late Flars- (RIP) used to enjoy bottling solo, but not me.
I do still bottle Saisons(bombers) and Hefeweizens but that is only about 4-6 times a year, so not that bad.....
