ok, nothing new here  ;D just showing off new kit

It does work incredibly well though!! Mr McGrath popped over and helped bottle some effervescent Weisbier with his bottler

It's worked well, but there was a couple of inchs of foam inside the glass on the level was coming up and that foam was expelled through the tap on the side, overall it worked fine. (Note, we followed the instructions and dropped the Keg pressure and pushing pressure to 5PSi)

I got this bottler setup over the weekend, and the only reason I think it worked so well was the fact that I used the needle off a cannula to vent :) It was easy to pierce through the bung, and it has a membrane in the plastic part that you need to stick a needle through, The resistance was perfect!!, I wanted something for the lazy man, didn't want to lose any delicate aromas by venting my keg, so I bottled the beer at the Keg pressure of 25PSI  >:D

I tried bottling a normally carbed ale after this and I didn't even have to put my thumb over the Cannula. It level just raised at a perfectly normal speed.

NCB brewers: THose bungs will take a 5/16 line without any drilling  ;D
