Little Bottler

garyfentiman

Sorry for the stupid question but I already have 2 FV's and have been bottling with the siphon, I was wondering if the little bottler can be retro fit to one of the FV’s or do I buy another and then siphon in to that let it settle then bottle

The little bottlers can be fitted to the vessels you have, you would just need to drill a 25mm hole on the side of the vessel near the base. It then fixes to the vessel with a nut and washer, perhaps just nip it up a little more than hand tight until it seals nicely. When drilling the hole don't do it too close to the bottom of the vessel or you wont be able to get the nut on, and if you do it too high then it leaves loads of brewin the bottom that is hard to get out. We usually drill the holes around an inch from the base

They do come with pre-drilled vessels if preferred;
