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.

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

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.

Sorcerers Apprentice

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 !!
