I've one or two I'm not using at the minute, I can pop them in the post for you and you can return them to me at the comp! Give a pm with postal details and I'll have them out for tomorrow!

These things are getting cheaper and for just under 9 "Dolla" definately worth having if you have kegs and want to bring or carb beer in a hurry for a meet

That looks to be a very well thought out product. A counter flow bottle filler for only $12!!

BTW: Do Aliexpress take paypal?

I'll put a picture up of mine later. I've put a rubber bung on the end of mine, so I can also use it to fill bottles. Obviously keep the pressure down on the co2 or you'll be extracting glass from your body. There's a  reason it's only designed to fit PET bottles after all ;)

Is applying pressure in one blast to a glass bottle something we want to be encouraging? :(

Well, it's the same thing you do with a counterflow filler, the only difference is your using the bung to let out the o2. If you set the pressure really high with any of the systems, your going to be hurting yourself badly.

I guess, just be careful out there!

I see a nice solution with those carbonation caps for carbing up a PET bottle with cleaner / water / starsan and running them through beer lines

That's what I do when cleaning my tap/beerline.

Fill PET bottle with StarSan (water first to rinse a couple of times), pressurise bottle. Connect to disconnect, open tap, flush through. Simples.

Back to the OP, have you got a party tap? I've fitted a short beer line onto my party tap by heating in near boiling water to slide it on. The line fits to the bottom of the bottle. Might solve your problem in a pinch.
