I recently realized that I needed to bottle more, so that I can share more, because I'm producing more than I should drink.
On my most recent batch, I kegged five gallons, and bottled 5 gallons. I don't mind the bottling process, but did realize that I'd never had to explain about "pouring a homebrew" to any of my co-workers/friends. Any bottle I'd ever given them was poured off the keg through my beer gun.
The beer gun is fine for one or two bottles at a time, but I want to try bottling a full five gallons off of the keg next round.
I think counter-pressure is the way to go for longer-term storage, but playing with "open this valve, then close it, then open this, while holding the filler to the bottle to keep up the pressure" would be much worse than the beer gun for a large bottling session.
Soooo..... I came across THIS. It looks pricey ($250!?), but if it works as slick as I think it should, that would be a stellar device to have. Has anyone used this device, or heard about it? Or, does anyone have a quicker way to fill off the keg with out making a foamy mess?
