Hi all,
Just recently purchased a cpbf and stand off Bribie, great bit of kit looks the goods and makes filling bottles a hell of a lot easier without having t grow a third arm. However I am having the same drama as when I used my old cpbf. I can get the bottle s filled and capped on foam, but when I craked them tonight they were flat as a tack, no carbonation what so ever. I know the kegs were carbed before hand, just not sure where I am going wrong. Hoping to rectify by the weekend as I am heading to BBQ and wouldn't mind taking a few bottles rather than a party keg, watching the waist line as it is. was hoping someone might steer me in the right direction. My process was:
Gas connected to T Splitter to keg and to Gas In Barb on CPBF
Beer Line connected to keg then connected to Beer In Barb on CPBF
Gas set at 10psi
Purge bottle with gas - 15 seconds or so
Turn Valve to let beer in to bottle
Fills very slowly
The grommet at the top would allow gas out as it was filling so never used the gas release valve on the side of the CPBF
Filled till foam over the top
Capped
Put in Fridge
Drank today - tipped them out all had lost all carbonation totally.
Hope that gives an idea - any help would be appreciated.
