Pretty self explanatory. I had some success bottling a couple ipas with my first experience using the Last Straw bottle filler. I tried again... not so much. Crazy foam, giant puddles of beer everywhere. I tried:
- Bottling around 8 psi
- Lowering to 4-5 psi
- Bleeding the keg, then bottling with 4-5 psi
- Filling a side glass with foam and getting buzzed
Nothing worked remotely well, and there is a shocking lack of posts about users having the same issues. Clearly, I'm doing something fundamentally wrong. The beer (a coffee stout) pours like a dream from the tap at 10-12 psi.
I did not freeze the bottles prior to bottling; I know that supposedly helps, but I did not have the freezer space.
I'm sure there are some things that I'm missing in the explanation, so feel free to ask further details.
I appreciate any and all advice/suggestions.
Cheers
