I am planning on making a brett starter for bottling my sour beer. My current plan is to do a 500ml starter, then a couple days later add 500ml of the sour beer to prepare the brett for the acid shock. I was going to do this starter with corn sugar, since that is what I will be using for bottle...

2,210 + 5 gal Brett IPA = 2,215

1082 + 5 gal saison = 1087

22,161 + 5 gal IPA = 22,166

20,570 + 5 gal stout = 20,575

18,576 + 5 gal IPA brewed 7/19/15 = 18,581

18,571 + 5 gal Helles Lager = 18,576

14,777.5 + 5 Gal Milk Stout = 14,782.5

No its basically the same thing and you're right its not TRUE counter pressure but it does help with foam reduction and carbonation loss. I am not pressurizing the bottle with CO2 before filling like with a true counter pressure filler. Poptarts, thank you that is the exact info that I...

Not sure how you figure that. Its not one of those fancy contraptions but it works in almost exactly the same way. I let it flow into the bottle until the flow completely stops then slowly release air by pressing on the side of the stopper.

usually about that or however long I can wait to tap the next keg haha

Currently I use one hand to hold in the part and turn on/off the faucet and the other hand is on the stopper in the bottle slowly bleeding pressure.

I have had them for about 3 years and I just sent them an email saying 2/4 were leaking and if they had a suggestion on how to remedy this and he replied asking for a receipt (I actually didn't even have an itemized receipt) and then quickly shipped me 4 new faucets. Maybe I just caught one of...
