Hi everyone,
I'm about to bottle my first 5 gallon batch of cider and have yet to find an effective and somewhat clean process for bottling. For my first 1 gallon I just used an auto-siphon and had to pinch the hose after each bottle was full which made a mess. I then tried an auto-siphon with a bottling wand on the other end. However the siphon wouldn't catch unless I had the wand pressed down the whole time; thus moving from one bottle to the next would break the siphon seal.
Does anyone have any tried and true supplies they use? Or a system they have set up? Thanks for any insight!!
