Good bye little blue piston thing

[pcmfisher]

I used one of those spring loaded blue things for years until I dropped the little valve bit down the drain.

I then got one of those all white ones (like the Brigalow jobs) and realised how much quicker they fill the bottles. Lots quicker.

I found the head of the white brigalow ones can sometimes pop off mid bottle fill, I do use a bit of tube between the tap and bottle filler so that might me more banging it around. I bought one of the blue jobs at my last visit to the LHBS to compare but I have since moved to kegging so less bottles will be filled in the future.

After cleaning you have to push the parts together really well.

I would push them together as tight as it would go, would always work itself loose.

I lost about 100mL in my last batch from the white bit dropping off. Silly PITA.
