Default I got a Blichmann beer gun for my birthday! :)

I read the instructions and I think I have the idea on how it works. I still need to get all the connectors to test it out though. The one thing I am just a little fuzzy on is the CO2 connection. That is only used to purge the O2 from the beer bottle, correct?

Yes. Give the bottle a blast before filling. Once full, I give it another shot to force out any o2, but if you cap on foam, there shouldn't be any trouble with that.

P.S. Happy Birthday...what a great give to get!

Correct. You can run it without the CO2 hooked up as well, thats what I usually do. The small amount that leaks out the back of the gun between bottles bugs me and just before I crimp the cap on I give the bottle a quick tilt to generate some foam, purging any air remaining right before I cap.
