Do you have to use it hooked up to co2 ? If you fill bottle there is not enough oxygen to hurt anything is there? I just think that may be a waste of co2 to purge such a small air space. I am going to order one of these but not real sure about hooking it up to co2, anybody bottle without hooking to co2?

You don't have to hook the gun up to co2 but the keg will need to be hooked up to it

So if that is the case then do I need to buy the accessory kit or do I just buy the gun?

You can make your own accessory kit or buy one. You won't be able to use just the gun itself unless you have the necessary parts.

If for some reason you don't want to hook up the co2 to the gun, you'll still need a MFL fitting, clamp and a liquid QD.

Thanks for the quick response much appreciated.

If your going to spend that much money on a beer gun, you may as well just get the accessories and purge your bottles with co2. Your beer will be better, why ignore an obvious and easy improvement in your bottling process?

I'm a beer judge and can't tell you how many homebrews I've tasted in competition that are loaded with oxidation.

Quick question. Buy purchasing the Beer Gun and accessory kits, could the accessory kits also serve as a way to carbonate a 2nd corny keg while at the same time I have my 1st corny keg on tap?

I don't fully understand. Kit 2 does contains a "T" splitter, so you could use parts of that kit to split your co2 line into 2 separate kegs.

Ok thanks, yeah that seems like it should work then. Just wanted that y splitter, extra gas line, and gas ball lock connector.
