Keg to Bottle

[fatman]

Hey all,

I just transferred my first batch (dogfish 60 clone) and so far it tastes really good. Cant wait for it to carbonate and get to temp. this batch I am force carbonating because I want it in time for 4th of July weekend. I was wondering if it is possible to bottle a few so I can send it to my dad so he can enjoy my beer too. Right now its cold crashing in the keg and I was gonna start the process tonight.

thanks all!

it's definately possible. The blichmann beer gun is designed just for that. A lot of guys make their own beer gun and counterpressure fillers to do it. I haven't used it personally but i've heard a lot of good things about it (no sediment in bottles, ready to drink in minutes, doesn't scare first time homebrew drinkers, and crystal clear beer)

I, like many others on the board, have been using BierMuncher's method with great success:

I didn't have to buy a thing and it is quick and easy. I haven't found the need to chill my bottles but some do.

Good luck.

Cheers!

I fill bottles off the keg with a counter pressure filler and it works great.

For very short term storage just put a tube on the faucet and fill the bottles from the tap. You will have O2 in the bottles but it won't effect the beer if you drink them within a day or 2

Cap on foam so most of the O2 is pushed out. Use O2 absorbing caps if your really paranoid.

I kind of like this rig I found yesterday:
