This line has a 1.5” tri-clamp inlet fitting. We use 1” nova flex brewers’ hose. I would recommend a larger hose than either that you have mentioned; part of the design of this line includes keeping the large product supply pipe full of beer so that pressure remains relatively constant on each head.

I use a 3/8 inch hi temp thick silicone line with no problem whatsoever

It does not come with a pump or a manual. Yet I found the device to be very intuitive to use. You will need two CO2 sources; one to purge the O2 out of the bottles and the other to pressurize your keg or vessel full of beer that will fill your bottles. I typically purge the bottles with 8 psi CO2 and I pressurize my vessel full of beer to about 10 psi CO2.

No pump. Push beer to filler with CO2.

We hook this bottling machine to a pressurized tank. No pump required. We keep about 5psi pressure to fill bottles (of uncarbonated beer; we bottle condition the beer)

Gas. Co2

No pump counter pressure. But it is junk. Don’t buy! We asked to work with more beer to make our purchase right with many issues right out of the box. There was no resolution from them. It cannot been used as a result.

The bottler does not require a pump. Flow pressure comes from a CO2 tank hooked to source keg (in our application). This medusa has been a god-send cutting our filling time significantly.

No pump. It’s completely manual.

Yes and no. It can only make the bottle so full yet I find that it over fills by a little bit at that point. So I just manually stop it when it gets to my target fill level. Also it doesn't stop sending beer into the bottle so the beer will keep going into the bottom of the bottle and then the overflowing beer will go out the top and into the PRV and subsequently into the beer drip tray. I should also point out that the drip tray drain tends to not drain in my experience.

No; the PRV controls the back pressure to allow you to balance the system under isobaric filling conditions. Opening the PRV will increase flow rate closing off will slow down the flow/fill rate useful for balance and controlling foam. The three way valve on the side of the filling head allows you to stop filling on a particular head and top off manually by opening to either the back pressure header or atmospheric vent.

Yes it will. We have one if these and it leaves about 3/4" headspace before it starts purging foam/beer. Works well and is easy to adjust fill speed with PRV to control foaming.

Hello! You will need to manually shut off when full. The PRV valve controls the speed of fill.

I suppose you could add washers to adjust the level down on the neck of the bottle but it would be hard to adjust the level higher than it’s meant for.

Hi do you plan to make this video ?

Hello Amaral unfortunately we don't yet have a video of this system in use.
