I hope there a good number experienced brewers here who bottle and bottle condition their beers. So many people have moved exclusively to Corny kegs.
I find that bottles suit me better than a Corny n Tap set up although I do have two Cornys, Co2 and the ability to cool the kegs.
My personal experience of using counter pressure fillers is that they are a pain in the ass. I had a beer gun, it was dreadful long lines dragging about and I still had foaming issues even with everything chilled.
My current filler is the common Stainless type mounted on a stand I made, it's much better than the gun but…
I do it using a CP filler adds complication hassle and time to the bottling process that I would prefer to avoid.
I normally cold crash, transfer to a bottling bucket to bulk prime then fill my bottles using a Little Bottler. Obviously I avoid splashing the beer about.
I find this quite satisfactory except for very hop forward styles and possibly lager.
Getting to the point of this post, what I'd really like is to find out what other members do to reduce oxidation in their bottle conditioned beers.
If you have any suggestions, hints of tips would you please share them.
Thanks All. Aamcle
