I tried a few keg-based bottle filler approaches before this one. This was pretty easy to use and has passed the ultimate test - maintains taste profile & carbonation while bottling. The pressure gauge and flare fittings are nice additions over the standard filler. The gauge is pretty high quality. The gauge makes the device lopsided - if it were better balanced I would have given 5 stars.

Purchased for a gift to my son who is a home craft brewer. He loved it. Product arrived earlier than expected

Well constructed. Works perfectly to transfer beer from the keg to the bottle.

3-way valve and outlet line were both a bit loose and leaky as received but easily tightened. Relief valve would not seal; had to put a spacer behind the internal spring to make it tighter. Worked better once foam got into it. Finally I had to extend the 3/8" diameter portion of the downcomer to work with the short-format (Sierra Nevada style) bottles. The dimensions appear correct only for long-neck bottles. Finally got it working and finished my bottling run. Only took a foam bath once. Overall carbonation was lower than ideal but I did not try to push it on the first run.

If you're serious about bottling the freshest beer this is the only bottle filler made that does it right. Simply purges all oxygen out of the bottle and transfers beer from the keg under control CO2 pressure. I've had been last two years because of this filler. If you're entering homebrew competitions this filler is for the serious homebrewer.

Una gran herramienta para embotellar rápido y con calidad

It took a while for me to get the hang of this but once I did I was able to slowly and carefully bottle home made soda from my keg without losing much carbonation. There were some pieces of teflon thread tape that made it into one of my bottles so make sure you run clean water and turn all the valves at pressure to clean out before bottling. The side attachment where the pressure relief valve and pressure meter attaches has some movement (it's not solid) but I'm not sure if that's by design. I also bought the Counter Pressure Accessory Package with the ball-lock attachment (KEG803). The original gas line that came with my keg was 1/4” ID 1/2” OD but the gas line that came with the accessory package was 5/16” ID 9/16” OD. So the T adapter that came with it was very difficult to attach onto my smaller gas line but I managed to stretch my skinnier tubing onto the T and get it to work. I may eventually replace my original gas line with the larger 5/16" ID tubing but I worry that the fittings that attach to my CO2 tank would not work without being replaced also. It does feel a little expensive for what you get and it does take some time to get used to but I'm now bottling home made sodas and preserving the highest carbonation level I've ever been able to capture previously using my poor man's beer gun (racking cane with stopper plugged into the picnic tap).

Some nice features (3way valve quick connect barbed fittings) but very poor connections between valve body and fill stem and between fill stem and gauge assembly. They appear to be compression fittings that should take conical gaskets but instead were sealed (or not) with two black rubber o-rings for each fitting placed in tandem. This arrangement made a very floppy attachment at both places and seemed destined to leak. I fixed with a 1/4” brass “olive” ferrule as a spacer and one o-ring stuff I had on hand but as the filler was shipped it was not acceptable.

A true counter pressure bottle filler. Recommend having a friend assist so as you fill the bottles they can cap them but overall very happy with this.

I've used mine to bottle about a dozen 5g batches into 1L bottles. It is simple to use well built and reliable.

Like it a lot easy to use and the bottles get a lot o pressure.

This was easy to use on both 22oz and 12oz bottles.

Works great for beer comps

This works very well. Absolutely no complaints after bottling 5 gallons.

First off: it works and it works pretty well. I needed something better than a picnic tap and a tube for bottling root beer and preserving the carbonation. I tried using a stopped and easing off the seal to make my own version of a counter pressure filler which kinda worked but I broke two picnic taps in the process made a big mess and it was just all-around clumsy. This does a much better job. I docked a star because it's kinda tedious to fill bottles this way; the tube is a little bit too long (In fact it had poked through the box during delivery. And as it is it's a little long for 12oz bottles and I have to set it at an angle to get the stopper to seat. I'll probably cut a quarter or half inch off the tip of the tube); and the stopper seems a tad soft. But it does what it advertises and now I have bubbly bottled root beer.

Fills bottles fast and with just the right amount of head space each time. Only issue I have is that the valve does leak some CO2 when in the off position.

The unit is fine but the instructions could have been clearer for a first time user. It took some trial and error to get it right.

Works great. Contact between rubber stopper and tube could be tighter as there seems to be some leakage but not a big deal.

I just received this yesterday and was a little disappointed there was no stopper in the package as advertised. Now I have to purchase a stopper before I can try it. Other than that it seems like a good piece of equipment.

Everything you'd want in a counter-pressure filler. I have used other models in the past and this one is smooth sailing plain and simple. A few thoughts / recommendations: (1) Throw the whole thing with your bottles in with your beer the morning you're going to bottle. If everything is at that same cold temp your foaming issues will be minimized. (2) Heed instructions about maintenance. There are easy ways to adjust and maintain the pressure relief valve and the 3-way ball valve that sits atop the unit. I've read other reviews of people who had small issues with these parts - but it's clear they didn't read the instructions unfortunately. (3) If at all possible get a partner to do the capping. It is worth putting off for a day if you can have that extra set of hands around to help. (4) Relax don't worry and have a homebrew!

botling have always been dificult and tedius for me counter presure bottler filler works well but still is a hard work but I recomend it is better than noting.

Works pretty well. Really helpful too if you over carbonate your beer.

I got this because I had issues with my blichmann filler always giving me flat beer. This counter pressure filler has never let me down and it is easy to clean. Sold the blichmann and never looked back. Thanks

It takes some time to get the gas and beer lines set up but then bottles can be filled quickly and easily. The check valve is rather touchy - only minor rotation of the control nut is required. Naturally be sure to clean it well after use as any remaining beer will prevent proper functioning.

I really love this for sure this works excellent for my operation. I am able to fill 10-12 bottles off each keg so I have a few around to take to friends and various tastings. I have had some of the bottles for a couple of months in the fridge when I open them they are keg perfect. actually smother since they seem to have even more time to age. I am very happy with the product. Make sure you have a cold keg going in and the bottles fill fine make sure you purge first and fill to the top I use a try under the bottles to catch any spill. I give this product a five star for performance ease of clean up and quality. Good job More Beer on this one!

It takes a little practice to get this to work well. But once this learning curve is over it is amazingly easy to use. I now have know problem with foaming gushers and spillage. For me the pressure gauge is essential to monitor the internal filling pressures

When I first got this bottle filler I wasted a good half dozen 22oz bottles of beer before I realized that the pressure relief valve wasn't installed properly. Essentially I could not get the bottles to hold pressure. The valve was always partly open so there wasn't enough counter pressure in the bottle to prevent foam from forming and I was basically pouring a lot of foam. Once I realized that there was an issue I unscrewed the relief valve cap removed the spring and realized the valve was crooked. After several attempts I was able to straighten it with my finger drop the spring over it and screw the cap back on completely. Finally the bottle would hold pressure and I was able to pour pretty much foam-less beer all the way to the middle of the neck. I've bottled about three cases of 22oz bottles at this point and this bottle filler really works great. It's just a shame that the check valve requires such care in order to seat properly.

I just opened mine and used it for the first time. It made filling bottles from a keg a breeze. The only complaint I have is where the pressure relief valve is hooked onto the stem seems fairly loose. I don't know if it is supposed to be this way. I was thinking it would be connected pretty tightly but it wiggles about a 1/4 inch in any direction.

Once you get it down it is the best! I know and trust that my bottles are carbonated to the right pressure I need. I use my double regulator off one of my CO2 tanks and hook one regulator side up to the bottle filler and one up to the keg and set the desired bottle pressure on the filler and then do about 1 psi less on the keg and has work well for me!

I use to bottle and would enjoy being able to give bottles of beer away. But then I got into kegging and bottling went away for me. I would invite friends over but sometimes my buddies wouldn't be able to visit in time before the keg was empty. Then I found this gadget and it works great I can fill bottles from my keg and be able to put some away for my friends before the keg is tapped out. Recommend this item if you enjoy giving away bottles of beer but prefer to keg instead.
