we have used this about 10 times now. anyone have these and have some tips on how to speed up the fill process? 700 bottles an hour is crazy talk as it states. I'm guessing with flat wine it would fill quicker but not that fast.
we bottle condition all our ales in 22oz bombers - the tubes to the tank evacs the air out of the bottles as it fills - which obviously with beer has some co2 from fermentation so it is a foamy mess up the tube - we were concerned about aeration so we use longer tubes now to the back of tank into a pitcher and just toss that foam/beer. same effect on fill time.
the issue is the time it takes - yes its a slow leisurely bottle day we label sanitize and cap with ease but it takes forever to do 75-100 cases 22oz (5-6 hours with small breaks) we were quicker with a homemade two bottle wand system.
anyone have any ideas how to speed this up? tips? etc?
beer is flat, chilled, we have tried larger & smaller hoses on the bottle evac lines?
thanks for any help
