Dragon's Milk Bottling

I pulled a sample from the Dragon's Milk with the bourbon soaked oak chips and tried it on 10/28. It tasted fantastic with a bit of alcoholic heat in the finish and is still at 1.016. I didn't want it to get too oaked so I went ahead and transferred it to the bottling bucket and put it in storage at ~50 F. Normally I keg my beer but this one will benefit from some additional conditioning and I also don't want to blow through a keg of an 8% beer. This one will be good for the cold winter months ahead.

I bottled it yesterday (11/6) with 3.5 ounces of corn sugar and am really happy with what went into the bottle. I tried a new way to prep the priming sugar that I read somewhere online. I filled a standard mason jar with water, boiled it in the microwave, added the sugar and dissolved it, then re-boiled in the microwave. Once it was done I put the lid on and made sure that everything came in contact with the boiling water. The jar went in the fridge until it was cooled enough to add to the beer.

All of the bottles filled and capped below, hopefully they get even better with age!
