I bottled 5 gallons yesterday and as I was staring at bottle after bottle fill up I couldn't help but think it would be faster if I could fill two at once. I usually put my bucket on a milk crate on the counter and have the wand clipped to the crate for stability. The wand is connected to the spigot by a very short length of tubing.
What I was imaging was either some sort of tee fitting splitting off to two wands or just add another spigot and wand. Since both wands would be clipped and stabilized by the crate I could use both hands to hold the bottles and cut the bottling time in half, in theory. I haven't been able to find anything similar. I'm also curious if a tee splice in the line would create any turbulence that could cause problems (aeration, foaming etc.). Has anyone come across anything like this? I have 6 gallons of apfelwein ready to bottle and I'd like to try it out.
