I've been reading a little about Fermentasaurus and that one of its features is that it can ferment beer under pressure, thereby carbonating it during primary. This is good news for keggers, from what I understand, but I'm still a lowly bottler. However! I'm told that there's such a thing as a "counter pressure bottle filler" - a device which keggers often use themselves to transfer from kegs to bottles for parties, competitions, etc.
My question: would using a counter pressure bottle filler to bottle an entire batch of beer (35-45 bottles) be more trouble than bulk priming and bottling the "old fashioned" way?
The main thing I'm trying to achieve here is a predictable level of carbonation, as well as mitigate the risk of explosions. I already do my best with bulk priming, but I've been a bit gun-shy lately and have had some quite flat batches as a result.
