[Ponte Alto] Mead question

[neacalban1 at aol.com]

Porormr,
           Oh...  :-)      my supplier isn't maybe the best salesman.....    sounds good, as restarting the siphon stirs up sediment,correct?  what about filling?(not having seen one way or the other,I was assuming that one wanted as little air in the bottle as possible,to decrease oxidation? the volume of the siphon tube in the bottle will leave a void once removed,or is that not a concern? I await your most excellent advice. I'm using the wire-flip-top stopper type bottles.

They also make a gadget called  . . . wait for it . . . a bottle
iller.  It goes on the end of your siphon hose and has a little valve
n the end.  You put it in the bottle, and press the valve against the
ottom of the glass.  Flow stops when you lift the tube away from the
ottom.  This way vacuum is never lost and you don't have to restart
he siphon.  Most brew supply places should have it for a few bucks.

 While the mead is filling, lift the bottle to just below the level of the
 host container. As the bottle gets clost to full, lift it above the level of
 the host container and the flow will slow or stop.

 Anyone have advice on operating  the siphon to avoid waste.It's the pump
 kind with a hose, and I don't quite know how best to stop it before it
 overflows the bottle.
 Thank you all for any info.
