just bottled tonight! +5=3227

I guess I've always, (in these past 4 years of brewing) never fermented anything without an airlock on it. I plan one letting this go to the 7-10 day mark then transfer to glass with an airlock because I'm too weary of messing up a batch, even if this beer runs ~$20/12gallons
