Great Video! I am in the market for a bottling tank myself… debating on this and the one from Hillco. Question for you… where do you get your labels from? Thanks in advance
Thank you! I like HillCo, and for many things, they get my money. John Hill is doing admirable things, BUT, a bottling tank is designed to have honey sitting in it for extended periods, and for that reason I wanted American made for that one item. The extractor, uncapping tank, etc have honey pass through relatively quickly so I’m happy to save money on equipment shipped in from mass producers overseas, and I have been very happy with them too. So you didn’t ask, but that’s my personal take on why I have HillCo everything and then a Maxant bottling tank. The labels I designed in Photoshop using the template provided by Vistaprint to get it the right dimensions, then they printed and sent them out 👍
@@TarshaHomestead I appreciate your honesty and feedback with regards to the bottling tank and need to take that into consideration. I do have the extractor from Hillco and absolutely love it and highly recommend it…. Thanks letting me know where you get your labels made from… will have to dust off my PS skills and make a design….also debating about starting a new bee video channel :)
@@GrillingNetwork it wasn’t too tough. Go size your stickers and then download the appropriate template psd file from vistaprint first. That made it easy to get things aligned and within the bleed area. Random: I just subbed. I’m not a skilled cook, grill or otherwise, but hope to convert a retired grain bin on our property to a grill/smoker/griddle gazebo this year, and it will be time to learn my way around.
Yep! It’s just the smaller of the two hydraulic lift tables from Harbor Freight. I got the idea from Duck River Honey on here. This way I can lower it, dump buckets in, then jack it back up to do bottling.
This is fantastic. I enjoyed watching this video.
This is so cool!!! I enjoyed watching this video!!
I bought one after seeing yours lol
Looks like a great addition to the store.
We considered having it so guests could bottle their own honey but I decided to just bottle it all up now so we can clean it up and store it. 😄

Nice setup. Can you share the details on the stand the bottling tank is on?
