foamy bubbles when bottling

[Big Stoney]

I bottle syrup by hand and at times I have a few foamy bubbles at the top of the container so the foam runs down the side of the bottle when I fill the jug and I have clear the bubbles to see if I have the bottle full enough. Am I doing something wrong or does that sometimes just happen.

Two things: try a piece of cheese cloth fastened over the fill nozzle. Sound to simple try it! Second you need to leave about 1/2 inch of head space in a normal sugarhill type plastic jug. Put the cap on and tip the jug to get hot syrup on the seal.

Yoiu can alsp tip the bottle while filling just like pouring a beer.

I just started using a 1/2" ball valve with a 90 degree SS sweep elbow faucet which is about 1/4". Nice steady stream of syrup and no more bubbles. You can get the valve and spout through Leader or Bascoms.
