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?
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

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 ;)

Lovely. I was planning on doing this.

Nice idea with the rubber bung molc, I hate those pet bottles

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