Counterpressure bottle filler -stainless??

Thu Nov 13, 2008 2:53 pm

:unicornrainbow: Good noon,

I have had a couple recommendations towards the morebeer counter pressure bottle filler for ease of use. Noticed they had an "all stainless steel" version. Figured thats a good thing. Thing is, that model is backordered until next spring. They have a similar model that only has non-stainless at the pressure relief valve (brass). Their description says this shouldn't be a concern because the beer that hits the brass does not go into your bottle.

Your thoughts? Is it still a good buy from a cleaning/sanitation/use point of view, or should i seek out a place that has a full stainless model?

I want to bottle up some brews for christmas gifts, and was trying to upgrade from my current broken cane in the cobra tap method.

I have the "old school" one that has a few brass fittings (pressure relief, "t" between the beer and gas lines), and some chrome plated brass fittings (beer and gas line ball valves). I haven't thought twice about it. If it really bothers you, you can pickle it. I think there are more important things to stress out - like making sure the kegerator is always filled! Yee-haw!
