Correct :) I did explain how to do it but that wasn't enough... :)Basically a lesson in not allowing bar staff to pour bottle conditioned beers. They're clueless.

To be fair, it's not something they ever have to do normally, it's a bit like expecting them to tapdance.Basically a lesson in not allowing bar staff to pour bottle conditioned beers. They're clueless.
Did you see this -It's easy to criticise, but how many people outside the homebrew world ever have a bottle-conditioned beer, let alone have the clarity of their pour scrutinised by randoms over the internet?

One of the pubs I frequent started their own microbrewery a few years ago. Husband running the brewery, wife running the pub. She was totally incapable of pouring a bottle of their own beer - the only way you could get a clear glassful was to grab it off her before she had a chance to ruin it.To be fair, it's not something they ever have to do normally, it's a bit like expecting them to tapdance.

I did - and no doubt you had someone explain how to ride a bike, did that mean you never fell off? Sometimes the only way to really learn is by doing something a few times.Did you see this -

And I also saw chopps saying in his video #80 that the gyle that was bottled didn't cold crash properly and so had more yeast than usual, to the extent that he was thinking of drainpouring the lot. And it had just been driven to the pub. So it wasn't the easiest bottle to start with.
I just don't like dunking on people when they've got no comeback, and whose only crime is inexperience.
Hi mate, yeah the postage is shocking - I need something better than FedEx and EVRI for sure.I've watched all your videos @chopps. I think they're great. I've really enjoyed seeing the process of setting up and starting the brewery.
I've only been brewing all-grain since the end of last summer, so I'm still new to this whole thing - but it's great seeing how the processes I do in my garage scale up.
Unfortunately, you're a bit too far away (Edinburgh) for me to pop down and try one of your beers in a pub. I was hoping to buy a few bottles, but the postage price is a bit prohibitive right now.
All the best, I look forward to seeing more of your videos and trying your beers one day.
When the beer fills to the same level in the neck as the level in the tank, it stops.How does your bottling machine know how to stop filling the bottles when they are full?whe level of beer in the tank is the same as the neck of the bottle.
I think I get it - thanks.When the beer fills to the same level in the neck as the level in the tank, it stops.
It’s basically a syphon.
the float valve allows you set the tank level and so the bottle level follows that. Hard to describe but simple in practice
@chopps . Have you considered getting a head mount for your phone? You can get them (go-pro style things) so you can stick the camera on your forehead.
Yes, you look like an utter plonker with it on. But it has the advantage that you can film and use both hands to do stuff like unscrew your electrical box. Just a thought
