Sorry if this is in the wrong section but i just wanted to say a big thank you for all the help i have received over the past week....im sure i will have a lot more questions but THANKS !! Chris

god one more silly question.... i stupidly cut the syphon tube in half that comes with it, cause i thought it would be too long and it turns out its now too short !Doh! Anyways how do i attach another piece of tube to the one i eventually got on the end of the device? i have a smaller tube that...

thanks did it !! phew, just noticed that the wine one does not fit in all my demijohns...still never mind !!

just so i get it right do u mean dip the end of the device in boiling water or the syphon tube??

Many thanks :cheers:

Thanks mate, also i bought some syphone tube but it does not appear to fit in the end of the device, how did you get round this?

Hi all I have just purchased the above gadget for both my wine and lager, i have tried out both just with water and my question is do you have to keep pumping all the time to get it to come through? i thought you would just have to pump or twice and it would start it coming through like it does...

Yes they are proper glass beer bottles, and thank you so much for all your help and everyone on this matter, sorry for so many questions

ahhhh am getting you, so maybe 100g might be better?? i just dont want to blow my bottles by putting to much in

hey please dont apologize your being good enough to help me and i appreciate it, so do you reckon if i go with 80gr of sugar as my priming for 40 pints it will be good enough?

Thanks for the link but its got me completly lost !!!! what do you mean by a ratio of 1.2 1.5 etc??? sorry for basic questions chris

so you reckon i should try a 100g?

no it says 8g per litre but am going to go with what you say mate, 80g tops! just want a good head is all :)

Thanks mate for your answer, was just reading my instructions and it says "prime bottles at a rate of 4g per pint" so that would be 160g in 4o pints roughly, will this be too much in your opinion? and cause the bottles to go pop?? I just want enough to give it a good chance of getting a good...

yes i think i am just found one on the net, gunna get one now, just out of curiosity how does this stop the sediment coming through? Thanks Chris ps last question i promise lol :D when i put my priming sugar in bottling barrel, how much do i put in for a 40 pint kit?? Thanks AGAIN !! chris

Thanks mate i appreciate all your help if anyone knows the name of this thing let me know :D cheers buddy :cheers:

Again sorry for asking one more question am still not clear on how i avoid getting sediment into the 2nd bucket, do i place the syphon tube just above the sediment in the FV, and if so what the best way to do this as my tube does not fit onto anything it just dangles in the vessel. thanks mate...

Again many thanks for your reply, you have no idea how much your helping me !! when you say prepare your bottles do you mean clean them? or put more sugar in them as well as your priming sugar?? Also you say your tube has to go right to the bottom of the fermenting bucket when you transfer...

many thanks for your help here, can i just ask a few more questions about this? Firstly i like the idea of a bottling bucket to reduce sediment so think i will choose this route, i have a beer barrel that i do not use anymore would this be ok to use as a bottling bucket? Also when your...

Hey all Just want to pick all your brains on a few bottling questions if i may :D I prefer my home made brew in a bottle i have never really gotten away with kegging...i am basically just after some tips on speeding up the time it take to bottle the lager i make. At the moment when my brew...
