Apparatus and method for filling containers with liquid utilizing apparatus of the type having a tubular filling lance operatively connected to a source of liquid and being vertically movable between raised and lowered positions, raising and lowering of the lance being controlled so that the lower emission end of the lance is disposed just below the surface of liquid in the container as the container is being filled through the lance. The apparatus comprises: first and second control valves, each having actuators, providing fluid communication between the source of liquid and the tubular filling lance; a weight measuring device for real time measurement of the weight of liquids placed in a container through the tubular filling lance; and controls operatively connected to the weight measuring device and each actuator of the first and second control valves for controlling the movement of the first and second control valves and the flow of liquids through the tubular filling lance into the container in response to predetermined weight of liquids in the container.
