Beer Gun +

Wed Apr 15, 2009 8:39 pm

So, if I order a beer gun, I have to get a whole shit-ton of other shit too? Accessory kit, T or Y adapter, blah blah blah?

Someone give me the low down on this thing. I want to be able to share some brews now that I've been kegging but don't know the best way to get them in bottles.

Ok...I read the first part of that thread before. I just re-read it. Sounds like you prefer the CP filler? I need to see it in action I think.

And you need to try my Blond. :)

I'm rather new to this too so take this for what it's worth....

I have a beer gun and my brewing buddy has just the regular tap set-up. He always brings bottles of beer over when we are brewing at my house. All he does is put a tube on the end of the spigot and fills the bottles from the bottom up and then caps them. Works great and the beers have good carbonation.

I went ahead and bought the whole Beer Gun system. It fills bottles fine also. I decided on the extra equipment because I want to enter my beers in competitions and I want to bottle beers that I want to age.

I will have to wait and see how well my decision works out. I haven't had the system long enough to enter these beers in any comps and I am just now getting some bottles into storage.

So, I dunno if any of that helps but it is the best I got.. :nutters:
