Bottling Goat Scroti

We bottled the goat scrotum porter last night. Bottling beer is fun... the bottles fill up really fast when you're not paying attention and then your butt is wet and there's porter all over the floor. whoops. Anyway, a few weeks and it should be nice and bubbly and ready to drink!
