I agree the benefits of bottling carbonated beer using the beer gun far outweigh the time spent setting up.Vince Feminellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253116271729372218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5025772368054857903.post-2762865662281403272015-06-30T23:47:01.373-04:002015-06-30T23:47:01.373-04:00I love my Blichmann beer gun and use it mostly to ...I love my Blichmann beer gun and use it mostly to bottle beers off my legs for competitions. I have won awards with beers I've bottled off of it. Setting it up is a bit of an ordeal but no more involved than bottling by hand with priming sugar. I have a single CO2 regulator and use some extra tubing to make it work. Low carbonation has never been a problem. I won't go back to bottling any other way on my homebrew setup.

Needless to say based on your feedback and on what other Beer Gun owners have said to me everyone who has a Beer Gun loves it. <br /><br />My mind is still racing with ideas on how else to use a Beer Gun in the brewroom. Filling up some 5 liter mini-kegs for use in my Edgestar Deluxe Mini Kegerator is in the works now along with filling up the standard fare of 12 and 22 ounce bottles. Now that I've taken the time to hook the Beer Gun up in the brewroom I don't know how I ever got along without one.

From time to time, that little black top will come off in a bottle. That is the biggest negative for me. <br /><br />When I use the fun, I will usually try to remember to chill the bottles and the fun in the fridge for a couple hours. The colder the whole system is, the more CO2 stays in solution.<br /><br />I also find this the most convenient way to full growlers.<br /><br />I do understand the complaint about the cost. When I got mine, I had gotten a small bonus and decided to use part of it to splurge on some "nice to have" brewing equipment.<br /><br />I am glad I have mine.ESheppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791870404804006118noreply@blogger.com
