Hi all,

I am looking to make a pumping system for my bottle beer. I want to use a pump that will push air into the bottle and then force the beer up and out of a tube into the glass.

What type of pump do I need.
 
You could use something like a foot operated air pump or even a bicycle pump, I suppose.
But do you really want to use "air" to displace beer? I mean, it's fairly anathematic to mix beer and air.

While I'd love to understand why one would actually want to do something like this, it'd make more sense to use bottled CO2 or an inert gas like nitrogen or argon with the appropriate regulator...

Cheers!
 
Hi

Many co02 is expensive and I want to use a simple electrical pump.

I want a system I can screw my bottle to an adaptor and then just pump it.

Is this for pumping homebrew or commercial beer? All truly bottle conditioned beer have sediment on the bottom that surely gets roused and transferred while transferring with the "push-out" method, resulting in cloudy unappealing beer "pours."

Why do you want to do this? Most bottled beer is optimal as it is.

+1 on using an inert gas (CO2, N2), not air (containing O2). Although I doubt the beer gets oxidized before you finish the glass.
