I got the same 2 items from Hill Co and upgraded my uncapping tank. John is a great guy to deal with. I enjoyed talking with you over some bbq at the expo this year. Really looking forward to using them this year.
Outstanding video Brian! I too purchased one of these “bad boys” at NAHBE! Have not even taken it out of the box yet. Looking forward to using this bottler for this year’s honey harvest. Thanks for the tutorial!! I will refer back to it when I fire it up! 👍👍
Nice Video Brian. I was even able to scan the QR Code from the video when you showed the manual and go to that video. I am not quite up to needing this, but I will keep it in mind. Last year I only pulled 80 lbs of honey and this year I am planning on splitting aggressively so probably won't get too much honey. I did start working with a friend who has a lot more hives than I do, so maybe he will want one.
Rodney, if you get to the point where you harvest 500+ pounds a year, it is a game changer. I spent probably 14 hours bottling honey last year, it got old. I figured the time this will save me is worth the price.
@adamsoutdoors LOL.. I'm just sick of the spending hours messing with Honey. The 19-gallon tank, that'll be a huge help. The bottling machine is another huge help. More time for other chores really. Lol
Brian I like to set up I have the bottling tanks but I'm thinking about getting the machine to bottle it with I was just wondering how hard is it to clean
This machine took me like 4 or 5 mins to clean. I took the hoses off, ran hot water through. The gears and pump area I poured hot water through it, cleaned out fine.
@@brianchrisman4331 That is true. . I was looking at the time though also. Even with a gate, it doesn't compare to the speed of this thing. I look at it also like i'm reinvesting into the hobby, making my process more efficient.
