I used the AllInOne to rack, filter, and bottle. I did two passes with the 1 micron filter. Piece of cake! I only lost about two fingers worth in the overflow bottle. Pic is pretty lousy camera pic and doesn't do the label justice. I tried to use colored bottles for this Riesling, and only one is clear. We each had a half glass left over and toasted our efforts. It tasted excellent with only a bit of harsh finish (K meta I am assuming which should diminish over the next few weeks).
Things I will do different next time: 1) wash bottles day before and sanitize on day of bottling (the washing was the worst). 2) do capsules before labels (some of them got smudged in the process).
Now what to do with that empty primary?...
