Counter-pressure Bottle Filler.

There's something to be said for keeping it simple.

Yup.
After a little more snooping on other other forums, there are plenty of comp brewers doing just that.

There just seem to be a few tricks to getting it right.

*Low pressure and a nice slow feed into the base of the bottle with the wand.
*Tilt the bottle to help minimize foaming.
*Refrigerate your bottles and gear beforehand (apparently helps to keep the disolved C02... disolved)
*Get a cap on ASAP.

I'm going to try this with a stout next week so we shall see.

Also a wet bottle has less point of neucleation than a dry one, thereby helping to maintain the CO2 in solution.

Heres some pics of the CPBF i just got

Top handle opens the gas and then rotates to open the beer in valves
Bottom handle operates to seal to the bottle
Silver valve on side operates the bleed
Tube at the back is the overflow

Its looks like you can only fill PET style bottles as it needs the wide plastic rim to pull the bottle up for the seal.

I filled one bottle and it worked well.

At least once you get the hang of yours you will be able to fill any bottle not just PET ones

The beer is just like the back of a tap with a thread which has a barb to screw on so i would say yes, the gas in is more sealed to the unit it may screw out i dont really know.
