Bottling time tips and tricks.

My effort racking no2 prior to bottling. I did learn from the first. Hence peg useage as i only have 2 arms/hands...

I only brew 10-12L batches, probably not practical with 20 odd litres. The hack is really having the bottling wand on a tube - e.g. you can have all your sanitised bottles on a tray and move the wand from bottle to bottle./

I did exactly the same. All those nights sneaking out to raid the recycling bins and it was a complete bust.

Ok - bottling wands are a gamechanger : not attached to the bottling bucket spout but on a pipe so you can leave a bottle to fill and then cap the beer you've just done while it's filling. I'd much prefer the wing-capper I've got than a bench capper. Loads of the cheap plastics wing-cappers like the Wilko one are absolute gash, though.

This is a problem I need advise on.
Using the bottling wand on the tube rather than attached to the bucket tap.
I tried bottling wine from two demijohns but the wand wasn't a tight fit in the tube.
I had to use a tap instead.
How do you connect it ?
