    Hi Gash, don't know if you're still monitoring this video. I have one of those bottlers, and I'm yet to use it. I'm just about to brew a beer to mark my father's centenary. He started brewing in 1949. I plan to brew the Centenary Ale under pressure in a FZ AR, keg it, and then bottle it in champagne bottles for family members. Would I gain anything by dropping a carbonation drop or two into each bottle in case they want to keep them for a while? Cheers, John

    What do you prefer? The new carbonation cap, or the beergun? Just got the carbonation cap, and it is awesome and smart!

      Carbonation cap is good for one or two screw top bottles, but the beer gun wins easily for crown seals and if you have to bottle a few! Cheers!

    Great video! Always wondered about those. They are not readily available in South Africa, I may have to try an make one!

    Great info.
    I'm about to start kegging. I was going to start with a basic bronco tap setup. Do you think I could use one of these instead of the bronco?
    Cheers, Matt.

      This could be used as a regular every day tap, a lot more can be done with this than a normal tap, but it's really designed for bottling. I'd suggest to get both especially since you can get a Bronco tap for under $10. Cheers mate!

    Hello, what should be the reason if I lose carbonation levels?
    I am using Blichmann beer gun - last time I filled the bottles, no foaming at all - however the beer was pouring too slow so I increased gas line PSI to about 12...I am using double gauge regulator, so I can keep different pressure levels to gas and beer lines.

    • @HomeBrewNetwork
      @HomeBrewNetwork  4 года назад

      There should be hardly any lose of carbonation if you're filling the bottles right up and capping correctly, it cant happen. Ummmm Is the beer truly carbonated to begin with? What pressure are you storing the kegs at, what temperature and for how long? Cheers!

    • @melhaer

      @@HomeBrewNetwork Beer was carbonated with a DIY inline carbonator - such as Blichmann's one. In the kegs it was perfect. Kegs i stored at 3C, bottles were cold, 6m beerline, there wasn't any foamg during filling. Previous time when I used it - there was a lot of foaming but carbonation in the bottles is much higher.

    I know this video was done a long time ago and so i hope someone still keeps an eye on the comments. I would like to know if there is any particular length the beer line to gun should be, is it ok just to use the length that came with the sub

    Thanks for creating this video (so long ago now). This may be the most obvious thing in the world to the keg-initiated but I'm a complete noob at this stuff - why do you need to have the Co2 connected to the keg while you do this? I have this beer gun but I don't think the instructions mention anything about doing that - I'm sure you have a good reason though :) I just wanna do this properly now having completely stuff up my first attempt!

  • @MikeDent

    Cool! Thanks for the video. One question. When you fill like this,does the beer just keep the same as if you had bottled direct from the FV?

    • @HomeBrewNetwork
      @HomeBrewNetwork  8 лет назад

      +Mike Dent .. No it should be kept refrigerated or cellared at low temps, I suppose normally filled bottles really should be too. The guns are great and means no sediment in the bottles. You can also fill a keg from your FV and use it to fill bottles as well if you like, still add sugar etc. Cheers!

      Gash Slugg I`m just getting back into homebrewing. took a 15 year hiatus. now I went out and bought a used Sabco brew magic, this fucker is gnarly!!!
      just starting to figger it out. I made an outstanding porter at about 5%!! not bad for stepping back in the game after 15 years.. I will be using my beergun tomorrow...

    Can you still “age/condition” bottles from the beer gun? There’s no priming sugar reactivating dormant yeast.

    • @HomeBrewNetwork
      @HomeBrewNetwork  5 лет назад

      Best to keep them cold, but yes they can age if you're careful to purge the bottle well and cap on foam. Cheers!

    hey mate do you know anything about the Keg King Counter Pressure Bottle Filler Kit ?

    • @HomeBrewNetwork
      @HomeBrewNetwork  10 лет назад +1

      I havent used it, but I'm pretty sure its only good for screw top bottles. I nearly bought one but I think this does the job for what I want it for. That little bottle filler cap does virtually the same thing but not so fancy.

    • @CamStansell
      @CamStansell 10 лет назад

      Gash Slugg Sounds good to me ! im likin the idea of filling bottles when i need them straight from the keg when they are nice a carbed at tasting good !

    Greetings Gash, as always following your videos.
    Do I have time observing this one filling of bottelas of Blichmann called BerrGun, and the only doubt that me arises is that so that it works Cornelius has to go connected to a Barrel?
    In past questions was he mentioning to you on carbonatar without sugar, however later that the normal fermentation should be realized one happens to Cornelius and applies the CO2 to him?
    At the moment of filling the bottles does not it lose the carbonatacion?
    So effective what is, which is your opinion?
    What do you think about the filling peak Ferrari?
    Like excuse that bombards you with so many questions but here the information is always scarce and if something is obtained it is by half.
    Thank you and Cheers!!!!. . . .

    • @HomeBrewNetwork

      G'day mate, I'm having a few translation issues, but I'll try, "Cornelius has to go connected to a Barrel" I think you mean the keg has to be connected to a CO2 tank, yes. Even if you naturally carbonate in the corny keg you still need a CO2 tank to push the beer out, this is the same for bottling and for use in a kegerator. In my opinion the beer gun is the best way to bottle from a keg. If I havent understood , let me know! Cheers mate!

    • @zequielsosa3111
      @zequielsosa3111 9 лет назад

      If, he forgives I have formulated badly my questions separating that my English is not very good and the translator sometimes does not place the correct thing.
      1 - In my country Venezuela his name is Cornelius to this type of barrel.
      2 - On carbonatar can the beer instead of placing sugar pass directly to this type of barrel and applying CO2 carbonata in a natural way?
      3 - Does the alone CO2 serve to push the beer?
      4 - Does the BeerGun close automatically or is it completely manual?
      Now then, I do not handle well how carbonata naturally, I do not know the process, only I know the one that is done by sugar.
      And is the question, after realizing the whole process, I place my beer in a common fermentador, on having spent the regulatory days of fermentation, spend my must to the barrel and applying already CO2 carbonata?
      Indicate me if it is understood, I am grateful to you for it.

    • @HomeBrewNetwork
      @HomeBrewNetwork  9 лет назад

      Ok.
      There are two ways to do it.
      1. Force Carbonation - this is where the beer is transferred from the fermenter when fermentation is complete to the cornelius keg. The keg is then hooked up to a CO2 tank and carbonated. This can be done a few ways, some people turn the pressure right up high for a short time until the beer is carbonated how they like it, they then turn the pressure down to serving pressure. Or you can just hook the CO2 up and let it sit at serving pressure for about 10-14 days and that will carbonate it too.
      2. Sugar carbonation - this is where the beer is transferred from the fermenter when fermentation is complete to the cornelius keg. The keg is then 'primed' with sugar and allowed to sit at fermentation temperature for a few weeks. After that the CO2 is hooked up at serving pressure, all the CO2 does is push the beer out.
      The beer gun is not automatic, it is controlled by a lever on the gun. It is used for bottling but it isnt good to use as a general serving tap. The beer gun can be used after either of the above methods.
      So yes you can carbonate without sugar by just using the CO2. I prefer just to use the CO2 as the sugar method leaves a lot of sediment in the keg.

      Thank you Gash. . . .
      Much been grateful for your cooperation.
      I already understood the difference between carbonatar with sugar and carbonatar with CO2.
      Cheers!!!.
