bottling from a keg

Post by jjbuck »

I've been considering purchasing a beer gun or a keg bottling system. Any comments on which is more economical or works the best? Anyone(s) interested in a group buy?

2nded, the Blickman, is a a great way to go, especially if you are planning to bottle for long term storage.

I think the Beer Gun is cool but don't have one. I currently get the bottle cold in the fridge along with sanitized clean tubing. The I turn the pressure down on the regulator so it comes out slow and fill the bottle from the bottom until if foams over. Cap on foam and you are good to go. I have tested it no more than a month long for storage, but it was still carbonated.

I use the Phil's Counter Pressure Philler from Listermann. And, it works great and is relatively easy to clean.
