Bottled my first beer

I bottled my first beer tonight. We took a SG reading and it was 1.010 so I decided to go ahead and rack it into the primary fermentor, prime it and bottle. The new racking cane worked like a charm and I was super glad we spent the 3 dollars for the bottler attachment. I brewed this beer on April 27th and then racked into the secondary carboy on April 30th. I planned to let it stay in the secondary for two weeks but it appeared to be ready so I went ahead and bottled. They should be bottle conditioned on May 26th. Just in time to take a few to Austin.
