Beer Gun? We LOVE the Stinking Beer Gun!

Took longer than anticipated, but just got the Beer Gun last week.

I'm all for DIYing an inexpensive solution, but I had some poor results with the BMBF on beers carbed to over 3 volumes.

I don't think you'll have success bottling beers over 3 volumes with ANY filling device at the homebrew level. The beer gun should actually do worse because it doesn't have any back pressure mechanism.

The only advantage the BG should have over the BMBF is the CO2 purge. The downside is no backpressure.

...BMBF...just a racking cane shoved into a picnic tap.

And there in lies the beauty of a $3.00 DIY project.

Exhibit A - Cream of Three Crops...7 months in the bottle.

Oh yeah...and purging a bottle with CO2? A waste of time and CO2.
