Beer gun

[Graham.C]

Hey Guys,

How do you fill bottles from your kegs? I like making beers with thick heads, but it's quite the headache when I go to bottle off the kegs (no pun intended). A Blichmann beer gun seems expensive, but a nifty way of reducing the foam problem. (http://www.ibrew.com.au/html/equipment/ ... erGun.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) Anyone have a DIY solution?

I pop the relief and fill at about 2 psi. Seems to work for the most part.

I do love my Beer Gun. Makes bottling so much easier.

Short version: picnic tap with a racking cane shoved in the end. Reduce pressure to ~5psi. Fill until foam overflows, cap on foam.

i've built this an it works great. its super cheap! i've had bottles last up to 10 days in it.

I slide a tube over my tap. 1/2" clear tubing works. I fill growlers with it, not bottles.

I use the same thing with no stopper. My beer, except for stout, would be concidered under carbed by most.
