There's a ton of great comments on here, and unfortunately I don't have time to read them all. If no one mentioned it, a bottling tree and a sulphiter make the sanitizing process for the bottles much easier. My dishwasher is never empty/clean enough to use it for bottles. Another great tip, if you don't mind drinking tons of Grolsch, you can save money on flip-top bottles and avoid the extra step of capping.
