I have had a couple of people interested in the use of the measured pourer for priming bottles but not as many as hoped. I'm currently working with a brew shop to fine tune the package presentation, instructions, but being new to business I'm discovering things as I go. Anyway, I really believe that this method has the goods for those who individually prime bottles, and being a new method I should have conducted a trial to gain a wider opinion base to iron out any bugs and gain suggestions in its use. I need 10 volunteers to trial and give feedback on the method, packaging, instructions, etc. I will provide the unit and post to your nominated address. For those who want to be part of this just email me at rball5@optusnet.com.au and I'll answer your queries and arrange delivery. Please only respond to this if your interested, I also bulk prime but regularly prime bottles individually and recommend this method.
BTW this is the only product I carry and just saw this product as a good alternative to the measured scoop, Kangabrew, etc. The 15ml Posi Pour is approx $14 to $20 in retail outlets, so I want to keep this as a small, value for money sideline interest.

Used it this morning to prime batch 57.
Overall I think it is an innovative and practical application of existing technologies, and I will be using it again for the priming purpose when I am putting a whole batch to one size of bottle.
Strenghts:
- Very quick, no cleaning, sanitizing etc of the second bucket. No racking to the bottleing bin. I cut about half an hour out of bottling time.
- More precise than existing scoops for dry powders.
- Not using carbonation drops.
Weakness:
- If bottling to a number of different capacity bottles would need to be very careful to ensure correct syrup went to each bottle.
- Some batches benefit from the racking step inherant in bulk priming.
If you currently individually prime each bottle I would recomend this to you.
Cheers,
Greg
