Bottling Frenzy
ryang:
So not only are we expecting our first child any day now, but we are in the process of buying a home, set to close July 24.
In hindsight, it wasn't very good planning to have around 100 gallons of beer/mead/cider sitting in the basement at any given time.
I only have 2 kegs and they are full.
Since June 1st(the first time we looked at the house we are going to buy) I've bottled 38 gallons. I have 58 gallons to go before moving.
I should take some pictures of the boxes and boxes of bottles.
Do people move full carboys? I didn't think I wanted to take that risk/hazard. I figure boxes of bottles are a heck of a lot easier to move.

I've moved full carboys before, but it was in the back of my car as we only moved about a mile away. Are you moving across town or out of town?
morticaixavier:
I have moved full carboys and/or buckets. It's a PITA. I was worried the whole time, constantly looking at the beer all belted in the back seat. CAREFULLY going around corners. SLOWLY accelerating from a stop. worried the sun was too bright and was skunking the beer. I say bottle it if you have the time/energy/bottles. and do it quick cause once the baby comes you will not have any of the first two.
ryang:
Sloshing around just doesn't sound good. Bottled it will be for sure.
I'm taking 2 weeks off for the birth, but I realize I'll be busy. I think I'll have time to get it all bottled up.

Yeah, We just had our first.. I say just cause I havn't actually gotten to sleep since but it was actually about 29 months ago. (okay I have slept a little)
If it's not in bottles before the kid comes you WILL be moving it in the carboy. I could be wrong but any free time I had once the kid came (I took 6 weeks off) was used sleeping or cleaning up poop.
