I've been bottling beers off of my taps with a bowie bottler (not a blichmann beer gun) for a couple years now with no issues and perfect carbonation. I have a sour that is kegged and carb'd and I'm considering bottling some from the keg. My concern is oxygen pickup and eventually ethyl acetate production when not using a beer gun. Anyone have any experience or input?

thanks,
 
My understanding is that Ethel acetate comes from acetobacter. Are you concerned that's it's in a mixed culture? I've never stored sours bottled from a keg for long, or outside of a fridge but I can't really see a problem. I haven't had too many problems with ethel acetate, and when I did it showed up pretty quick

I'm not a biologist though.
