I've pulled the trigger on one of these Pegas rip offs. A handy toy for filling PET bottles from keg. There are threads on other sites on adapting them with a ground stainless washer to fill glass bottles, but I would be extremely careful about chancing that :o
I will review it when it eventually arrives on the slow boat.

Now this is something i could definitely use. How much is the genuine one compared to the imitation one ? ;D
Nvm i found it http://www.pegas.lt/en/170-pegas.html

They are €84 there's lots of info on Jims beer kit forum re converting them to work with glass bottles with a modified stainless washer
Ooh missed that must go looking.
That's still good value, I spent close to 100 on a counter pressure filler, as beer gun I also own is ok but not ideal, it took a while to get the hang of it and fishjam pissed himself as I covered myself in beer the first time I used it but got the hang of it now

Had a good read, very interesting, looking forward to your review.
I've ordered the recommended washers on ebay, free postage via parcel motel

How did this work out?
See them a little cheaper now

Too busy soaking up the sunshine and drinking store bought Spanish beer 😳
I'll be back home in September and I'll give it a try then. I ran out of time before I headed off and had to bottle condition the beers, which I took down with me in the car. All drank now, so I've made space for an RO system in the boot.

Lucky fecker.
I ordered one and washers so will report back, for meets coopers seems like the easy option. I've frigging loads of barrel aged stuff that needs to be bottled now though hence question.
I ordered the washers also but I reckon I'd stick with the Coopers bottles, I don't have steel toe capped wellington boots

No fun in that ;D
Trying to hold counter pressure filler in bottle with 15psi pushing it out is great fun at the moment.
15psi aint going to blow any bottles, i'll be wearing safety specs in any case doing it !!
10 washers arrived so if anybody else needs any and I'm thinking would thick silicone ones ones not do a better job?
Warning Fettling Ahead!

she arrived today and I cut the washer with a dremel and bench grinder.
It works well with plastic botttles, on the glass front only with my long neck 500's and the standard 500 not the little stubbies 500's i get from alpack.
All commercial bottles I tried it was good. I managed to fill a couple of glass bottles with highly carbed beer that was at room temp.
Its simple enough to operate and easier than a counter pressure but I'm still a little uncertain about it.
Ideal for meets and I guess that's why I got it as in essence its just a tap.
I'll have do do a straight comparison and do some accelerated heat aging in the hotpress to work out how effective it is but happy so far
I got a reply on the cost of the evolution unit from the Irish distributor
"Pegas evolution collected or delivered is 159 euro ex vat"
Took this to the next level and got a Novotap
Less fiddly than my counter-pressure and more beer in the bottle instead of on me

Does it do a good job and where did yuo get it.
Nice CH.. Can you put together a vid of this on operation. Are you filling glass bottles with it? Do you need the washer hack to fill glass bottles with this. Cheers
Yep you need to hack with washer for glass
3/4 way in
