Yesterday I bottled my entry for the NHC, my first time bottling (aside from screw-cap bottles). While it went well - I have my 6 bottles
- it was a messy process. The counter-pressure filler I borrowed from a friend definitely reduced the foaming and waste, and the bottles are more-or-less filled, but beer was everywhere.
The counter-pressure filler seems like a relatively cheap version, but I can't imagine a $100 Beer Gun being much different.
So I ask, if you bottle from a keg, how do you do it and what works best in your opinion?
