Hey everyone,
I've been scouring the web for up-to-date information, but have been unable to find a good, clean answer that breaks down the decisions surrounding beer guns and counter pressure fillers. I've considered purchasing a new filling solution (I use Biermuncher's design, but it isn't the most efficient of a process for me when bottling solo, which is most of the time) for a while now, but with some requests for large amounts of bottles for parties, I'm thinking I'll finally pull the trigger.
So the big question for 2024 is: Should I grab a BeerGun, Last Straw, or a counter pressure filler? I'm not looking for the site sales pitch, just the raw thoughts on ergonomics, efficiency, and final product. I want to make sure that I'm making the right decision, especially for the long-term storage aspect.
Other considerations:
I use Intertap forward-sealing taps on my keezer.
I want the beer to be fully carbed and non-oxidized at least 3 months after capping (ideally).
I have had awful service in the past from NB (and would prefer not to be forced to go through a card dispute with them again).
