Better-bottle

[lickapop]

I have just started using better bottles and I think the are shmick to clean and fit in my ferment freezer.

I had a racking adaptor snap clean in half while it was soaking in a sodium hydroxide based product...not recommended apparently.

Anyway for those who are using them, How long is it taking you to rack off 20L? For me it is taking over an hour and then some.

Its not clogged and the neck is not blocked. It gets down to about a 1/3 after about 40min and the stops. I have to tip it past the port which I shouldn't have to do.

Also has anyone tried hooking CO2 to the universal adaptor and rack under pressure? I dont have an adaptor otherwise I would have given it a go.


Cheers

Don't use a racking adaptor, or any of the fancy attachments you can get. I just siphon through the top using an auto-siphon, or push with CO2 (using a two holed bung, one with a racking cane, and the other connected to the gas). Both methods work fine.
