I'm new to this sport (4 PM's and 2 AG's so far) and have not invested in kegging equipment. I don't mind bottle cleaning so far.
The problem is the speed of bottle fill. I added a spigot to my bottleing pail and use the bottle fill tool with the push rod at the end. It is extremely slow, about 30-40 seconds per 12 oz bottle. I maintain about 4' of head pressure so that should'nt be the issue. I end up frustrated and fill straight with the 3/8" ID hose using the spigot valve to modulate and cut flow on each bottle. This makes a little mess, which I am OK with, but I think I introduce some oxygen with this method.
Any suggestions? What is the best bottle fill tool out there?
