Little bottler

[Baz Chaz]

I've read about a 'Little Bottler' which as far as I can tell is a length of tubing with a spring valve type of gizmo on the bottom of the tube :idea:

I can appreciate this might be handy instead of 'hand operating' the FV tap ......... do they work OK or is this a gizmo not really worth bothering with, just use a piece of tube and 'hand operate' the tap

going to empty last Saturdays brew soon into spare FV for a few days before bottling :!: getting nearer with first brew

They're indispensible as far as I'm concerned.

I found it saves a lot of time, just touch the bottom of the bottle with it and wait till you her the pitch of the noise rise as the beer hits the neck of the bottle, and remove, perfect fill every time and no need to operate a tap.

Well worth the fiver or so imho.

As the other guys have said..... they are very good.

The Hop & Grape do a bottle filling stick where the valve is sprig loaded....these IMO are better than the standard gravity valve of the 'little bottler'

I just bought a fermtech bottling stick from Stonehelme and it worked excellently well, and that was on a syphon not a tap... i think the little bottler is a tap as well??

Agreed! I use the spring loaded type and they are a godsend. I'm currently assembling a twin filler using two of these; so I can speed up my bottling a little.
