I saw a couple of tips in a thread earlier and thought a thread would help new members, if you have any feel free to add them. :thumb:

To get the ball rolling -

I have just ordered a bucket clip as i find bottling from the bucket on my own a right pain.

Adding a metre of tube to the tap/valve to extend it makes racking a lot easier.

This is the standard one showing the tap/valve on the end.

I purchased one of the plastic bottling wands cheap but brilliant, fills the bottle with no mess,
a really good bit of kit.

Another great aid for siphoning from demijohns is a stand that lets you have the demi at an angle so you get right down to that last bit without having to use your hands to tilt the demi and possibly lifting the sediment.
Still haven't built one...
There's pics somewhere on this forum, of a homemade one. At one time I think you could but them.
 
i picked up 2 syphon's and joined the together so if got two taps one in the middle and one as the bottling end. so i have more control and i can use the spare cane for bottling
