When I "bottled" a batch of IM Strawberry White Merlot for my daughter yesterday I did two bags for the Wine on Tap so she can have a glass whenever she wants, without having to open a bottle. The instructions were less than outstanding, to say the least.
The bag, laid flat, is 15" wide by 19" tall - which is much bigger than the plastic container it fits in. I filled the first bag outside the container to what I thought was the right level, and then tried to put the bag in the container. The net result was an hour added to the bottling time spent cleaning up wine, and a load of laundry to wash the towels used to mop up the spill.
For the second bag I installed the bag into the holder first, then filled it. That worked out much better. I did not take out the full one to see if the first attempt would now fit, since I had already cleaned the floor once, and was about out of old towels. I sent the full system home with my daughter, retaining the second bag and the 11 bottles, with instructions to bring the system back empty and I will install the second bag.
The next installation will be done in the very deep laundry sink, not on the kitchen counter.
