Default How to fill the bag for a bag in a box

With the wine starter kit I bought, there was also a bag and a box for bag in a box wine. Only problem is, I can't figure out how to fill it! I've looked online, but can't find anything and there weren't any instructions with it. Does anyone know how to do it? If it's simply a matter of pulling out the plug and filling, I'll do it. I was just a bit worried that if that wasn't how to do it and that I would just break the whole thing.

The ones I used a few years ago, the tap sort of unscrewed, like a twist and pull action.

Only problem I found with them (other than a tendency to drink too much) was that the wine really needs to be polished (like super filtered) otherwise it goes really cloudy. At least if it throws a sediment in the bottle, you can decant the wine.

Have fun and get a good supply of paraceatamols(?)

Thanks Stacey Steve. The wine is super clear, the last drops with sediment were used as a taster, so I don't have to worry about that. Valid point to keep in mind for any other time though, thanks.

As for the painkillers, haha, more good advice. Although I'm pretty sure this batch of apple wine isn't nearly as strong as the Australian reds at 14% we are used to drinking. However it is a bit of a quality vs quantity issue sometimes, isn't it?
