MoreBeer Counter Pressure Bottle Filler
KEG801
If you currently carbonate and store your homebrew in kegs, you can use a counter pressure filler to bottle beer directly from your kegs. One huge advantage of this method is that since you are bottling already carbonated, clear beer, there will be no sediment at the bottom of your bottles.
Theory
Counter pressure filling is how a brewery bottles beer. The bottle is under pressure while the carbonated beer flows in. Because the interior of the bottle is pressurized there is minimal loss of the CO2 in solution. The opposite of filling under pressure is when you pour a beer into a pint glass where CO2 erupts out of solution creating all that foam. Great in your glass but not good when you are trying to bottle carbonated beer. Our counter pressure filler mimics a single filling head on a professional bottling line
Uniqe Morebeer Design
Made by Morebeer, our design has two unique features. Number 1 it is the only model made entirely from stainless steel. Number 2 you flush and fill from the bottom of the bottle.
Features
While some models flush the bottle from the top and fill from the bottom, our unit features a special valve that allows CO2 or beer to flow down the same stainless tube, directly to the bottom of the bottle. First CO2 flows down into the bottom of the bottle to flush from the bottom up. Next you switch the valve position and beer flows down the same tube, filling from the bottom up. The result is a more effective purging of oxygen and fresher tasting beer and no foam during the filling process.
More Details
The unit is inserted into the bottle in the off position. The valve is then turned to CO2 to flush the bottle and then to beer for filling. The adjustable pressure relief on the side of the unit allows you control the speed of fill by adjusting the pressure in the bottle. The valve is positioned in such a way that it is easy to use with one hand, while the other holds the bottle. This model is designed for 12oz bottles but can easily be extended to accommodate larger bottles, such as 22oz, with a small piece of 1/4" tubing.
Setting
Your PSI Pressure
Before you counter
pressure fill a bottle make sure you are satisfied with the carbonation
level and flavor. The goal for counter pressure bottle
filling is to store your beer in the most sanitary and clean
environment possible so when you get ready to share your homebrew its
presentation is perfect when you go to pour.
An ideal set point to set your PSI level on your regulator is 10-14
psi. This range is dependent upon the temperature of your
beer and the carbonation level. We recommend you
start at a lower pressure around 10psi for the first 2-3 bottles to
make sure you get everything dialed in before committing to filling a
whole case.
Make sure your keg is always kept cold. If your keg warms up
you will have foaming issues.
