I finally got around to using this little attachment for bottling. If fits good into the Perlick faucets and I thought it would be easy to use. But when I tried to fill the first bottle I had beer everywhere, the walls, the keezer, the floor, me..
I have about 12 psi on the keg I was pulling from, is this too much pressure? When the beer gets close to the top of the bottle I tried to shut off the faucet in time but beer gushed out around the stopper. I was finding it hard to judge when to turn off the tap. Also was having trouble hanging on to the bottle, controlling the stopper with one hand so I could reach up and turn off the faucet with the other. What a mess! Seems you have to keep your one hand on the faucet handle all the time. Any secrets to this setup?
