CPBF stem too long

[Truman42]

I brought this CPBF from Kegland and tried to use it tonight but the stem is too long for small bottles or even Grolsch bottles.
If I move the rubber stopper down it doesnt seal as its internal hole diameter is wide enough to suit the top tube. To be honest I cant see what the point of the top tube is anyway. It connects up with a compression fitting but has no real purpose.

So are you supposed to cut the narrower tube to make it shorter? Only bottle 750ml bottles?

Other than that it worked great.

Great looking stand.

Yes that is correct, if you are using this on shorter bottles you need to cut the stem down a bit.

Cheers for that mate. Thats exactly why I gave up on that thread. So appreciate the mention of the page number.

Do you need to chill your bottles before filling them?
