They're all over ebay when you search counter pressure bottle filler, I know most people recommend a tapcooler or nukatap counterpressure filler but I like the idea of having a system to mount the bottle. This reminds me of the WilliamsWarn BrewBottler and iTap but both of those models are made...

what vol co2 do you use for this recipe? 2.4? 2.5? 2.6?

Thiolized neipa tastes like dirty gym sock for me

Thanks I'll check that out! What if I'm done fermenting and just need to maintain serving temp, shouldn't the temperature equilibrate?
