Bottling homemade wine is actually fun now using the Allinonewinepump !

Place the full carboy on the floor and set your bottles on a table or bench above it. Use a milk crate or similar to keep bottles upright while filling. Position a desktop light behind the bottles to easily see the liquid height, especially in darker bottles.

First, connect the hoses. The red-taped end goes to the red-taped tube on the bottle filler. The red line on the filler tube controls the fill speed. Covering the line speeds up the process, while exposing it makes it slower but more controlled—ideal for beginners.

The second tube connects to your racking cane and wine source. You can use a flexible racking hose instead of the vacuum-resistant hose that comes with the pump. If using the included hose, heat the end in hot water for easier attachment.

Turn on the pump. Hold the push button valve with one hand and the bottle filler with the other. Place the filler on the bottle, and it will start filling. Fill along the bottle’s side to reduce foaming and agitation. When the bottle is about half full, press the vacuum release to slow the flow. As the bottle fills, it will automatically stop when it reaches the tube. If you overfill, hold the vacuum release to suck excess wine back into the carboy. This process should take about 15 seconds per bottle, ensuring consistent liquid height.

Note: Use water the first time to get comfortable with the process.

Clean the vacuum release valve with warm water only. Do not use sulfites, as they can damage the valve. The valve only handles vacuum and excess wine to protect your pump.

Empty the overflow bottle when it reaches halfway to prevent pump damage.
