Ive had the coopers canadian blonde brewing for ages, so i was preparing for bottling at the weekend when i had time. The tap on the fv containing the brew dosent fit my little bottler. So i had to use a bit of hose to adapt . The hose was slightly small at the tap end of things, and i heated it in hot water and pushed hard onto the tap so as i would have it ready for saturday/sunday.... then the tap seal started leaking quite steadily. PANIC set in and it turned the tap clockwise 360% and it slowed to a small drip. I had loads of empty bottles, and went for the 40 brown pet bottles that you crown cap, as they were new. But had to sterilise them fast with diluted bleach and rinse then onto the bottle tree, got primeing sugar ready got bottles of the tree [couple of minutes to drain 
] Got 36 bottles done in record time for me. Not sure how long to complete and clean up.. maybe 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours at an estimate. Cut a few corners but had no choice... hope brew turns out ok as had to rinse bottles quicker than usual etc. I need a new backnut for the tap as the threads on my one are stripped a bit and dont tighten enough.
