All, we have a small but growing barrel program. We are primarily putting our barrel aged beers into 750ml bottles. We have a VERY manual two head filler currently and it takes forever to bottle a 15bbl batch. I am looking at all options for bottling and labeling and would love some guidance from folks that have done this before. Thanks in advance!

We graduated from a 2 head HDP counter pressure filler that we had to crown manually to a 4 head Meheen with integrated labeler about 18 months ago. We don't run the Meheen to death, we'll do anywhere from 1000 to 4000 Bottle runs 750ml maybe once a month. Very happy with it. We liked it enough to get a second one for 500ml bottles, and the same labeler can be swapped back and forth between the 2 lines. We do about a case a minute for 750ml (12 bottles). We load bottles manually into a rinser, with a Meheen provided cage that grabs and rinses a case at a time. Everything else is pretty automated. Bottles come off the labeler ready to be boxed upLast edited by GlennL; 10-05-2016, 11:08 AM.
