Wrong bins

[goater46]

I Have got a Geordie bitter kit and youngs cider kit but I have put them into wine fermenting bins with no taps on the bottom, having looked at this forum I realised Ive made a mistake, is there anyway way I can bottle them from the non tap bins, many thanks David

Just use a syphon hose - you'll need to hold the hose in place on the bucket with a clip or get help (a spare pair of hands). Also I find an inline tap and a short extension help switch the flow on and off when moving betwwen bottles. If you need to suck to get the syphon started DAAB's (Chris's) suggestion of putting a hollowed out bic biro into the end works well, you then remove the bic once the flow starts.

Oh and if you dont have the tap, flattening a 'bend' in the pipe restricts the flow well enough.

Good Luck

I do exactly what Chris suggests. Your FV's aren't 'wrong', you just need a 3rd one that's 'right'

I put some pickies on the "Bottling - never again" thread yesterday.....

Couldn't agree with you more on the above quote Prozac. Brewer Bill is useless and way too expensive in my opinion. I don't know how he has managed to stay around for so long.

He's not interested in it anymore as far as I can tell and Youngs can't see it.

My brother lives in Great Barr - perhaps it's time for a family get together?
