I'd not had a really bad bottling day since I started this hb lark, but my turn finally came....
I made up the brewfferm cherry extract to go into my wheat beer, priming solution and all... and the auto syphon failed. Spent an hour trying to get the plastic valve back to where it should go, and the clips snapped off. Just prior to that while purging my BB with co2 got my little finger stuck on the cartridge (freezer burn) had to decant from fv to bb using a jug not sure the priming solution was mixed up fully although reasonably hopeful. The cherry extract left a reside in the bb tap that I can't get at. So lost a tap and an auto syphon.
tip for next time: add cherry extract to bottle via a syringe!
