LOL! Yes there has to be a safer way right? I am just getting geared up for BIAB 4 gallon batches in a 7.5 gallon turkey fryer. I learned a lot seeing your process. Thanks for sharing!

I have a couple plastic bottling wands and both will constantly drip during the bottling process. I guess the spring valve does not want to shut. Is this a normal thing or should I plan on replacing these wands every so often? Are there higher quality wands that work better? It's not a huge...
