I made this one about four weeks ago and it's great! My efficiency was a little better than normal so it came out at about 6% ABV. I mashed at about 152 degrees.

Made this on July 3, 2012. One of the best beers I've brewed to date. Some slight tweaks: - Mashed at 154 degrees - Used two packs of safale 05 Original gravity was 1.068, final gravity was 1.014. I was going for a little less malty and think it came out great. Thanks for recipe!

I should also mention this was the first time I tried to bottle from a room temperature keg, which is the reason I wanted a CPBF. There is limited fridge space, and I wanted to be able to bottle from the kegs that are on standby.

I'm not sure what the PSI was, I threw some sugar into the keg to condition, but then let some of the pressure out and hit it with one of those portable CO2 chargers. There was minimal foaming. The bottle was cold, it came out of the fridge. In contrast, I previously tried to bottle using...

Yes, I figure for a six pack the internal pressure will be enough. I didn't want to fiddle with another valve and the CO2 tank due to my laziness. Also, if feeling extra lazy you can leave the gas line off completely and only use the liquid side. That would make it very similar to the...

Correct. Although if you were filing up a growler or larger container and had a stopper with two holes you could attach a valve on the stopper and vent that way. I don't mind releasing the seal on the stopper so I probably won't try it.

I think you're the only two.

Super detailed schematic attached.

I know, I'm at work right now. I could upload the original sketch I made! :)

Hey Everyone, I've recently completed a simplied CPBF. The design uses the following components: - Roughly 6-8 feet of tubing, 1/4" - Two in line on/off ball valves 3/8" (picked up for $7 each at hardware store, they didn't have 1/4") - T splitter - One ball lock gas disconnect - One...
