CPBF or straight from tap?

This is a question for tnLandSailor more than anything but maybe others would like to see the answer or chime in...

TN, you mentioned that you got rid of your CPBF and bottle straight from the tap now. I will be getting to this point soon as my first batch I will keg is now in primary. I was considering the CPBF but based on a thread a while back where you spoke of this, I decided to do some research first. Do you have any links or other insider info?

Cheers....

• Clean and sanitize bottles.
• Remove gas line from keg and bleed off all but just a PSI or so.
• Purge bottles well with CO2 (important).
• Put the bottle under the spout and open the faucet all the way. The beer should come out at just a trickle. This will help to keep foaming down. It should take about 45 seconds to just over a minute to fill a 12 oz bottle. Adjust your pressure accordingly.
• At the end of the fill, if there is very little foam, partially close the tap to create some so that a little foam spills out of the top of the bottle.
• Cap quickly on the foam.
