BOTTLE FILLERS |

| COMBINATION BOTTLE FILLER, 3/8" SPRING OR SPRING LESS |
Can be used with or without a spring, which makes it both a gravity filler and a spring bottle filler. Guaranteed not to leak. (Let us know!) The main body can be unassembled from the acrylic tube for cleaning and is long enough to fit most bottles. |

| FERRARI AUTOMATIC BOTTLE FILLER This
slick unit can be used for bottling both still and sparkling wine. The
filler has a tapered fitting that accommodates 5/16", 3/8" and
1/2" siphon hoses. To use, simply attach the siphon hose to the
spigot on the bottling bucket and filler unit, turn the spigot on, push
the button on the filler and the filling begins! When the bottle is
full, the unit automatically shuts off. The rubber piece that goes into
the bottle can be moved to adjust the fill level. The nut on the top of
the unit allows regulation of the flow.
We have 5/16 tubing that is a tad smaller than the 3/8 and fits on the hose barb (coming off the right side in the illustration) that connects from your racking wand to the filler unit. The 3/8 tubing creates an air leak. You can also try waxed dental floss or waxed dental tape or Teflon tape, though Teflon tape may be too wide. The 5/16 tubing will need to be soaked in hot water
in
order to force onto the hose barb. |

| BOTTLES:
We have Vintage new Taylor Port bottles with a screw cap finish taking a
standard 28 mm threaded cap for 5$ a case. These bottles are in
boxes and have never been labeled they have a straight side and would
also take a cork.
A box of these port bottles weighs 14 pounds in its box. There is no guarantee of intact arrival shipping UPS. Double boxing would increase the weight. Shipping of 15 pounds to WV cost us $20.46. You can probably get your new bottles cheaper, closer. If you really want us to ship bottles, call the shop at 607-292-3995 and see what we have in stock and how much shipping will be. Ask regarding availability. Sometimes we have other bottles in, please ask. |

| Degassing Your Wine properly is an important step in wine
making. Providing oxygen (needed to get started) and sugar (needed to keep
going) are present in your juice, your yeast will go to work
transforming the natural sugars in your grape must into alcohol. During
this process one of the by-products is carbon dioxide (CO2) also commonly
know as “gas”. Most of this C02 escapes through the airlock, but some
of it remains in the wine in solution. If you do not properly “degas”
your wine before bottling you may end up with a mildly carbonated wine,
which bites your tongue.
Before degassing your wine you must first wait until the fermentation is completely finished and the wine is dry. Do this by taking a hydrometer or specific gravity reading. Your wine should finish at a reading of negative 1.2 or 2 on the balling scale or between .996 and .990 on a SG scale. Rack to a clean fermenter or carboy and attach your plastic de-gasser "The Whip" to your 3/8 variable speed drill and whip away! The Whip will fit into a carboy. Allow some head space in your container as the wine will foam and bubble. Important: when degassing is completed, transfer the wine from your fermenter or carboy to a clean carboy, and/or immediately top up your carboy. Dose the wine with meta and/or sorbate (if sorbate is desired), if you did not do so prior to de-gassing. If the meta and sorbate combination cause a foaming reaction, there is still sugar available and the yeast is still viable. Woops, happens to all of us. You may need to de-gas a second time. |
