10 washers arrived so if anybody else needs any and I'm thinking would thick silicone ones ones not do a better job?

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

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

Leann ull

Yep you need to hack with washer for glass
