Ok, so I'll switch to this.

And just working off this idea and principal you could always spin off it. Maybe just do two spigots with twin fillers, so you're filling two at a time in each hand or just build one '1 into 2' type manifold and fill two bottles at a time. That would cost like $4 to build and cut your fill time...

Only the elbows are copper, the tees are brass. When I finalize everything I'll leave the copper out and either go all brass or I also have poly pex fittings I can use. I think I even have some ABS pex fittings kicking around too. In any case, it's very easy to drop the copper from the equation...

And again, this is built using pex elbows, pex tees, vinyl tubing, shut off valves, and a 2x4. Everything came from Lowes so far except for the fill tubes. Nothing was welded, no copped sweat, only 3 holes need to be drilled and only vinyl tubing needs to be cut. So far anyway. I forgot about...

A few things I've noticed so far. Right off the bat the tubing is stiff as hell. It's almost like using pex. I was thinking about running it thru the dishwasher or something. It's a bit of an issue though. It makes using it a little awkward. When you lift the manifold part the tubing pushes...

Being that I've only been messing with this for two nights the results are very promising.

Here's what I've put together so far.

You know what, I talked myself into it. I'm going to stop at Love2Brew and get fill tubes and give it a shot.

Those fittings are crazy. I've been in the plumbing supply business for over ten years and have never seen them. So this is what I have so far. The obvious problem is flow rate at the outer tubes. 1 to 6 is just too hard to overcome without pressure. So if I start from the beginning and just...

The issue with this rig, I think, would be that as you add more bottles the ones closer to the center of the manifold would fill faster than the ones farther out on the ends. Especially if you divide it to do a six pack. You'd have to find a way to slightly restrict the flow to the center...

I've searched the DIY forum and also the bottling forum and I'm not having a lot of luck. I'm looking for a DIY simple, cheap, easy to build (meaning no welding, sweating copper, or off the wall fittings not readily found at Home Depot), CONSISTENT, gravity fed six pack filler for bottle...

Hello everybody! My name is Bryan, I'm 36, and I'm in Central NJ. I'm not really looking to steal your ideas, lol, but my quest for easier bottling is what brought me here. I do keg and have a kegerator, pretty sure it's a Nostalgia. It's whatever the cheapest one on Amazon is, but I...

I spray the labels with oven cleaner and wipe the labels off with a paper towel 5 minutes later and then run them thru the dishwasher.
