What size hole for little bottler?

[Billybobbrew]

I was thinking of getting one of these http://www.thebrewmart.com/little-bottl ... 03436.html to help with bottling, but I don't know what size hole to drill in my bucket for it to fit. I can't really wait until I order and find out for myself, being a student I don't have my own drill so it needs to be done when I'm at my parents house, but there are no brewing shops nearby until I get back to university and I'd rather not pay delivery charges.

Anyone used one of these before and can remember what size drillbit I need?

Give the shop a ring and ask them. :thumb:

Honestly I wouldn't bother.

They will speed up bottling from the tap but I find that siphoning is so quick that I haven't even used my bottler.

Others may disagree but I wouldn't go to using my bottler unless a pretty good reason comes up.

Siphontastic fella!!

I find using the bottler speeds up the process and reduces wastage over using the syphon, but I guess it is all down to your technique.

+1 for the little bottler. Quick and easy also reduces foaming.
Hole size is 26.5mm ish

Worth every penny. In my opinion 100% easier and more effective than a syphon. I use it for beer and wine. Wish I'd had one 20 years ago.

I got one of these and fitted it to a syphon. Now I can use it for bottling wines from DJ's aswell.

Love the "ish" bit, +/- 0.5mm.

Made my own bottler years ago from a piece of 10mm copper and a syphon tap, use it with a sypon tube!

It's a standard size tap hole whatever that may be :)
