    Posted by denise on August 29, 2020 at 1:46 pm

    We are looking to purchase another bottle filler. We currently use the Enolmatic volumetric filler. It works really good but the filters are pretty expensive. It’s much faster and works better than the old gravity filler we use to have (which was slow and we could never get a good seal during filling).

    Asking for your experience/suggestions on a great bottle fillers to consider. Price, ease of use/maintenance, reasonably priced filters & parts.

    Also, any suggestions on complete filler lines (filling, corking, shrink, labling) you use or have used? Are they worth the cost? Are they accurate and reliable?

    Thanks!!!

    Xpressfill. Good functionality and very good support from the company. Be sure to get the high proof upgrade. It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough.

    We have a 6 spout for sale, it will change your world compared to the Enolmatic.  Xpress are good fillers, but they are loud and only go up to 4 spouts.We’ve used the following fillers here over the years:

    Each has it’s own advantage and disadvantage.  Feel free to give me a call if you’re interested in our filler.

    Are you filling bottles with a carbonated product? If not, you probably don’t need a counter-pressure filler. Most distilled products are flat and can use normal gravity fillers.

    The fillers you’re referencing are on the homebrew scale, so you might get good mileage out of asking your question on a homebrewer form, or the /r/homebrewing sub-reddit or the like.
