Beer Gun is it worth it?

[Mylo]

I do think the key is to get the beer carbonated and very cold before you use the beer gun. My bottles weren't particularly cold and that didn't seem to be a problem.

And there is the difference between the CPF and the beer gun. Less foaming - since the bottle is only slightly under the pressure of the keg vs. the beergun where the pressure diff is much greater.

beer gun is for filling from a keg that has already been cabonated. well i guess you could rack into a keg with priming sugar in it and then use a beer gun to fill your bottles and let them bottle condition, but most people just use it for pre carbonated beer filling. think of it as the CPF w/o a seal.

You could also bottle right from a bottling bucket given the proper connections. No real advantages with regards to preserving carbonation levels, but you can purge with CO2.

I stick a broken racking cane with a stopper into a picnip tap and bottle that way. Holds carbonation great, wastes very little beer, and is extremely cheap and easy.

Just throwing in another idea.

+1 I love that setup. Simple, cheap, easy, and very effective!
