arghhh! - (bottle sanitation)

[Revvy]

What size is that stopper, Revvy? And the copper tubing too?

Did you glue those brackets to the pot Revy?

I don't know the size of the stopper, last time I was at the LHBs I just grabbed one of the bottling bucket spigots out of the bin and started fitting stoppers til it fit...Same with the copper, I took the stopper to the hardware store....You can also use a plastic tube that you bend,,,heck I keep thinking a pen barrel might have worked perfectly.

The bottling wand is attached to a one inch piece of tubing from the hose that came with the wand, that acts as a connecting bridge between the wand and the spigot. The each end has one of these nifty plastic hose clamps on it.

I bottle from my kegs using a beer gun and I absolutely love it. I am pretty anal about the sanitation when it comes to the bottles. I have a vintner and a bottle tree and they are pretty damn awesome. I highly recommend it.
