Me Wanty - Counter Pressure Bottle Filler

[acarey]

Hey,

I wanted to get a counter pressure bottle filler like this but I'm a tight arse (not handy either). Does anyone have one that they would be willing to sell?

Cheers

$60 would be bargain. In Australia they're like $100+ each.

 

[acarey]

Yeah, sorry I knew that. The above link was the first result in my lightning google search for an example.

I'd be happy with around $60.

Honestly, i've had one of These http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=3856 for a few years now.... much cheaper than when I bought them, and if you wanna fill glass bottles, talk to Batz or any of the others about an adaptor.

No affiliation, apart from being a happy customer etc////


Cheers

Cheers. I just PM'd Batz

Here is the link to the topic re the CPBF's that fit onto the font.

G'day acarey,

Sorry cobber but I have none of those left, I sent the last one out a week or so ago. I made up around 60 of those things and gave everyone of them to AHB members for nix.

I do have a few stainless washers that I made them from if that would help, dimensions are on the thread Dicko posted a link to. If I ever get a chance to knock up some more I will do so for the members here.

No worries at all Nick, I'm more than happy to help out fellow home brewers were ever I can.

I had one just like the one you're after but still found them a bit of a PITA. They work great but still rather fiddly.

You can't go wrong with a Blichman Beer Gun if you ask me.

I fill the odd bottle with a pluto. I wouldn't want to do 20 but enough for a barbie no worries (...19 ). I just slip a cap on ASAP hold it down as best I can to stop the foam and cap it. They usually need a rinse but that's OK.

Apologies if I have missed the point.

Without the pressure filler they would eventually go flat, like after a couple of days. Pressure filler bottled beer removes the oxygen/air and will stay carbonated for much longer, that's my take on things.

Squeakers from the tap work for me.

What's a squeaker?

 

[acarey]

Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm leaning towards the one that Nickb and Batz et al have been talking about.

 

[Batz]

I've sold mine, I found it more effort than it was worth to me. I don't bottle for comps. anymore so the only times I used it was for taking a few bottles to parties etc.
I find a couple of growlers suits my needs much better and is way easier and quicker.

acarey. I am in the states and just bought myself the morebeer CPBF. As such I have the craft brewer/keg king type CPBF (new and unused) up for sale. $60 and you pay for postage. The reason I decided not to go with the craftbrewer/keg king type was it was going to be fiddly to connect to a keezer collar. It is really set up for attaching to a font. PM if interested.

my edit should have included the spelling - its a squealer = 1lt glass bottle

I was considering the Blichmann, but the Morebeer version got a better recommendation at the Brisbane Homebrew Conference on the weekend.
