Is that just so you can fill bottles from a keg?

But you can buy them from banggood.com so they must be good. The Chinese wouldn't do us wrong. EVERYTHING they make is of the highest quality - FACT!

What I ment was they are a blichmann beer gun copy and the blichmann is not a counter pressure filler. It only puts co2 in at normal pressure and then you fill the bottle like you pour beer in a glass. It cannot fully eliminate the air so some dissolved oxygen will end up in the beer thus shortening its life span. Beer guns ae only good for taking beer out of a keg and in to a bottle to then by used in the next 2 hours or so. D. O. is the enemy of good beer. ;)

Nice work Mr D!

Looking at picture in reply #3 can you please explain the connections and the taps.

How do you raise it up to put a bottle on?

Video would be great!

I will do a video soon. The whole white panel is hung on a set of kitchen drawer runners and is held down on each side with a spring. The 3 taps are all picnic taps so they are quick to use.

Left tap is co2 in. Right tap is both co2/air out and also a control valve to allow the bottle vent slowly as it fills

Spring pulling down on runner

Pictures keep falling over ???. Here is the out side on the right for venting co2/air and then later for controlled bleed off of counter pressure.

I see there's some competition for Eigor - https://www.craftbeergrowlers.co.uk/pegas-craftap-3-0-2/. A snip at only £5400
