You don't. If one is full before the other, you take it off the stand to stop filling that bottle. Unless the wands get clogged with hops (from dry hopping), they will fill at almost the same speed. They are full within the same second.

Aha, I have only seen bottling wands with springs. Could work, but I think it would be complicated. Yes, I have heard of those cheaper siphon fillers (after making the one I have). Let me know if it's operating well.

@Mikko: I have seen different ideas on using floters/weights on bottle etc. I think it would be very hard to make gravity close a valve. It would need heavy calibration. Note that the wand's valve is spring loaded. It needs a fairly high upwards push to open the valve. This means you would...

@Misplaced_Canuck - Not sure I completely understood your idea. But (from the limited understanding) it sounds like a lot more moving parts? And then a lot of things can go wrong... @Swifty - The major inspiration for the build is actually siphon fillers You could get the same effect...

After increasing our batch size, we were faced with bottling 500 bottles instead of 50. We needed something to save us time! We could only find expensive bottle fillers, so we decided to make a simple and cheap one. We're so happy with the design that we figured it could be worth sharing...
