I have original beergun from Blichmann. Looks the same. Now I'm using counterpressure bottle filler from Aliexpress and I prefer this way. I fill bottles with beer pre-carbonized in keg or fermented under pressure. Works well and almost no yeast at bottle bottom.
Always loved your videos! Just a tip, always purge the beer line fully out before you fill your first bottle. That way your first fill doesn't push all the O2 inside the line into the bottle! Keep up the awesome vids, your work area is so clean! Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the tip, it’s stupid I didn’t do that, I do the same always with hose of the pressure transfer kit, thanks for the reminder and kind comment!!! Cheers 🍻
Great vid, just went and purchased one exactly the same from Kegland here in Australia for $39 AUD, pretty good price. Cheers for the upload and inspiration.!
Yes glen filling bottles is tedious and sometimes takes some waste / spills, JA glen flessen vullen kan eentonnig en ook kleine dingen gebeuren als morsen
Thanks for the video, it's much appreciated! I tried a plastic filler with automatic stop myself a few weeks ago, but that thing was garbage, might get this one instead.
He Glenn super video weer. Gebruik zelf al jaren de enolmatic vulmachine ook echt een top apparaat. Vacuum vanuit je gistvat (in mijn geval dankzij jou verlengingspoten) 🤣 als je ooit een item gaat maken, brouwen met kijkers hou ik mee aanbevolen 😇 keep up the cool videos!
I’ve been using the Last Straw bottling filler. Initially I thought it was more ergonomically friendly then the “gun” style filler. But after using it for a couple years I’m finding that it’s not as handy as I thought. Think I’m going to switch over to the “gun” style filler instead.
Hoi, even een vraagje, maar waarom voeg je ook nog bottelsuiker toe? Is juist het hele idee van vullen met n beergun niet dat je dan in principe gelijk schuim en koolzuur hebt?
Hoi, nee suiker voeg je toe om een vergisting op fles te creëren, op die manier komt er (extra)koolzuur in het bier. Op de manier hoe ik de botteling gun gebruik werk je nagenoeg zuurstof vrij, dat is gewenst. Je kan de botteling gun natuurlijk ook gebruiken om te borrelen uit een keg, met bier wat al gecarboneseerd is. Groeten!
Moet je perse het gistvat ook op druk zetten? Of kan het ook zonder CO2 via gistvatdeksel als het gistvat maar hoog genoeg staat? En een tweede vraag; welke CO2 fles plus koppelstuk gebruik je? Eentje van de leveranciers in NL/BE? Verder dank voor je video’s.
Usually with the fastwasher 12, for bigger batches. For just some bottles I use a bottle washer for just one bottle like this:Bekijk Flessenspoelapparaat deluxe op: www.bol.com/nl/p/flessenspoelapparaat-deluxe/9300000123840064?referrer=socialshare_pdp_iphoneapp Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the interesting video. Seems that the chinese beer-gun is worth the money. Just a quick question… Did you pressurize the fermenter during bottling?
Hi Glenn, I have a question. When you're filling the bottle with CO2 using the beer bottling gun, how do you know the amount of sugar to put in the bottle? Wouldn't this method increase the chance of exploding bottles since you do not know the exact amount of CO2 that will be in there? Thanks for your enjoyable and informative videos by the way, it's awesome!
Filling the bottle with CO2 will not effect the process of the fermentation in the bottle at all, it’s just to purge out the oxygen in the bottle to prevent oxidation of the beer. Thanks for watching and the kind comment! Cheers 🍻
Hi Glenn, Nice video! Can you share the brand and buying adres of the bottle cleaning equipment? I like it!(i am from the Netherlands to, so no problem if company is in the Netherlands)

Good to see you back Glenn, I`ve had the beer gun from Aliexpress for some years, I think most of my Brewery is built from them, Cheers

Fill up a sample pint. I like doing that to clear the line but also get an early taste even knowing it is often way premature
Hello from the bottom of Australia, I'm in the cold part, Great channel and remember nothing is better than a good home brew 🍺
Great vid, just went and purchased one exactly the same from Kegland here in Australia for $39 AUD, pretty good price. Cheers for the upload and inspiration.!
Great video, i ordered a Blichman beer gun from a supplier in the UK, cost £130 GBP, was promised it would arrive in early July, still waiting.

I’ve got “The Last Straw” from Northern Brewer here in the US. Works great 👍🏼
Thanks for the video, it's much appreciated!

Did this require a double regulator on your CO2 tank? I bought the Last Straw from Northern Brewer and did not realize I needed that.
beeeer! Looks good. Cheers
Reading your cloudy fruits ale recipe, do you need rice hulls with a braumeister when it pushes wort up through the grain bed?
Yeah, using the Rice hulls is very important otherwise you get fountains during the mash and a stuck sparge 😊
What system do you use to sanitize your bottles? The white box ?

Thanks for the interesting video. Seems that the chinese beer-gun is worth the money. Just a quick question… Did you pressurize the fermenter during bottling?
He did, with the same 0.1 bar CO2 pressure, so everything oxygen-free
Indeed, I used the pressure transfer kit , check the co2 line on top of the lid👍🏼
Thanks for the answer 😃
Fideo ?

Great accent. Did you win the lottery to buy all this kit?
I wish I did win the lottery :-) No I work and get Adsense income of the videos you see on my RUclips channel. Cheers and thanks for watching 🍻
@@homebeerbrewery Good on you...
