    Bottle Filler

    I have nothing against the higher dollar pump systems. Simply setting the pump on a piece of foam greatly reduces the noise factor. I have filtered and bottled wine in one step with this cheap pump. The head space is consistent. I agree that it isn't as fast as the Enolmatic, but as a one-man...

    Bottle Filler

    In reality, it's not that loud and it is still much faster than a gravity feed siphon. and for the price, I feel it is a great option.

    Bottle Filler

    I have since redesigned the vacuum circuitry with the addition of a few valves so that I can have 5 bottles filling and simultaneously swap out another five, switch a few valves and repeat.

    Bottle Filler

    this is my vacuum system. I think I might have $80 invested https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151583865233051&set=vb.509903050&type=3&theater I have tubes inside the neck of the bottle to set the proper head space.

    When to Remove Grow Tubes?

    You could mix up a weak solution of Tabasco sauce and water to mist the vegetation that you want to protect. Rabbits can't stand the spice. However, you will have to reapply the solution after every rain. A pellet gun is much more effective. ;-) Good luck.

    Another project for the tinkerers.

    I got bored last night and gave this a try with a little variation. I used LockTite glass glue.

    vacuum pump regulator

    Actually, I am a mechanical designer by trade; NPT fittings are becoming second nature to me. I still appreciate the concern. I think I may have found a cheap regulator that will work. ...Cheap enough to just buy and try. Thanks again for all the help

    vacuum pump regulator

    I know i will need a cannister as a liquid filter. A 1/4-turn valve is just too touchy me me. I'd rather not have to constantly feather the "throttle" I will keep an eye on CL. Keep the thoughts coming, thanks!

    label materials/supplies

    I use an Avery weatherproof mailing label that I print at work (laser) they are completly waterproof. i think they are 2.5 x 4"? the adhesive is a bit stubborn until it meets a bit of naptha.

    vacuum pump regulator

    I recently came across a vacuum pump for pretty cheap that I am confident will work well for the wine making processes. However, I will need a vacuum regulator for this. Is there an inexpensive option for this. I would greatly appreciate any input here; links would be great too. Thanks in...
