Just wanted to say thanks for the video. I assembled mine yesterday just as you described and it worked perfectly. Great for giving beer away and not having to worry about getting bottles or growlers back. Cheers.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching, Cheers mate!

[@OlympusEnglishSchool]

want to thank you for this. I got a beer gun but I have a couple of those stainless caps but I never thought about just quickly throwing some beer into some used PET bottles. This works great for camping. I hated carrying around my small kegs and gas... this is great. We have these 1.5 liter bottles here in Japan and it is perfect to carry along 3 different beers to the camp site. Thanks bud.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Olympus English School thanks for watching ! Cheers!

[@hc8714]

A super video even after 6 years. Was scratching my head until seeing this!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Great to hear , Cheers mate!

[@kenfuller5160]

I’m digging this video back up. This is the best method I have seen on brewtube, you don’t have to mess around with changing the pressure. Nice one 👍🍺🍺

[@ashagon]

I watched this when you first made this video, I bought one of these carb caps and never really used it. I am now going to buy a couple more and do more with them. Great video, thanks.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

They are great, you can get cheaper plastic ones too now. www.kegland.com.au/plastic-carbonation-line-cleaning-cap-fermzilla-cap.html?cmid=U1VxL0FMYmxTRzA9&afid=NHRQa2ViaTBnT0k9&ats=V2dpVFFYTmszWDA9 Cheers!

[@michaelstorer5726]

This is a great tip. I've wondered how to do this for a while. Thank you. I'll be making one up for sure.

[@michaelcooney7687]

Another great hint... mucho cheapero than a blichmann beer gun... as always excellent demo thanks

[@mcopado]

Mine just came in the mail, all the way from your part of the world to Detroit!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

+Michael That's a big trip! hahaha Cheers mate!

[@mcopado]

the product hasn't made it here yet. But you really showed how practical it is!

[@Canadiansasquatchbrewery]

That little cap looks quite handy indeed if you are bottling from the keg. Good video! Cheers!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks and Cheers!

[@hogue3666]

Incredibly smart. Thanks for the demo!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching! Cheers mate!

[@biabbrewing]

Love that thing! Just used it in a pinch this weekend when I needed some soda water for a cocktail I was making at the last minute :-) High quality product.

[@Landelutt]

I have that adapter and have only been using it for manually carborating wine and soda that has gone flat, did not know I could use it with my keg. Looking forward to testing it out.

[@smashy152]

For anyone watching who would like to make a beer line cleaner like he has, you can get an extra carbination cap and pressurize a bottle with starsan in it connect a jumper and let her flow

[@RayBilyk]

Brilliant! Great video! I bought two of these a couple of months ago, and was going to use it to help with cleaning my beer lines.

[@BHbrewing]

I have one of the plastic caps. This set up is way better. Another awesome video. Thanks for posting cheers!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

thanks mate , cheers!

[@homebeerbrewery]

Nice! Very handy! Thanks for the video. Cheers

[@roboedar]

Dude I wish they had like a "clamping" device that could seal over a glass bottle for using this method w/ the ball lock. This is absolutely simple and effective. I''m currently using one of the "deluxe cp" fillers from brew more which is always a big mess and finicky.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

yep it would great! Cheers mate!

[@marklpaulick]

Yea that would be the ultimate - to be able to use this technique on glass - maybe I could do it just by “press fit” hold the carb cap on top of the glass bottle?

[@peterdonnelly1074]

Awesome ! Now I know how to use the thing properly !

[@carlosdecastrojr3789]

Wish I had one of these caps a long time ago simply for purging.

[@polski45]

Nice video mate, very timely for me, thanks

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

+Waldy Wiz Cheers mate! Thanks for watching!

[@cobrarog5297]

Nice job, Gash! Thank you.

[@diannehookway355]

Well done Thanks for another great video

[@Rookie_DIY]

Nice one gash. I am still old skool with bottle conditioning but when I move to kegging these would be useful. Cheers!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers Zane!

[@underthetablebrewing]

Nice! Just don't leave the cap at the party after you drink the beer right? HA! Cheers Gash! Great that you are on board for the challenge mate!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate!

[@ABWSKITCHEN]

I have use both, I prefer the plastic ones, they last several years, around 8 to be replaced, the metal ones are kind of hard to use because they don't seal perfect to the PET bottles, so they need a o ring and over the time they tend to wear the PET bottle necks.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

These were brand new at the time and the plastic ones weren't available, but I have about 20 of the plastic ones now lol. Cheers!

[@jamaic1aboy2]

Cool I now know how to fill those bottles with carbonated beer. 👍🏾

[@dandaniszewski7137]

Great video. Very detailed.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers Dan, thanks for watching!

[@CamStansell]

Great Stuff. I wonder if it can be adapted somehow for a glass growler? Maybe just a matter of some thread adaptor. CHeers !

[@TimTrabold]

Thanks for the video. I like the tail on the cap and that the ball lock works with both the gas and liquid connectors.. I have made a number of 2 liter bottle carbonation caps from Tire Valves and home made beer guns from stoppers and racking canes. I like the all in one solution. Like you, I also tend to swap out my caps for the standard 2 liter cap. It sucks to forget a carbonating cap at a party and try to get it back a few days or weeks later. I would rather not even worry about it and not care about what happened to the bottle after a few cold ones. I also don't worry about the loss of pressure or Oxygen. There is plenty in the beer and as you said, you can squeeze the headspace air out or just drink it that night (what I prefer).It would be nice if someone would come up with one for regular bottles.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Exactly mate, I nearly went on the tire valve trail but it was going to cost me just about as much as this. Thanks for watching mate! Cheers!

[@TimTrabold]

I found one like yours that claims to work on both PET and Crown cap bottles. I ordered it and am waiting on it to arrive to try it out: www.ebay.com/itm/Homebrew-Stainless-Steel-Carbonation-Cap-Ball-Lock-Type-Fit-For-Soft-PET-Bottles/172732170275?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 Cheers!

[@voltronsupremeFood]

Great vid

[@spatt833]

Great video...nice job, thanks!!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Thanks for watching mate, cheers!

[@victorbitter583]

that will solve all my bottling problems I think. thanks.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

No worries! Cheers!

[@yozy4996]

great Job...

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate!

[@todddixon4378]

Thanks for the Demo.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

No problem! Cheers!

[@AndrewRobertsNC]

Nice man good idea! Thats awesome!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Yeah handy! Cheers mate!

[@larmo22]

Love that idea, just saw Andrew commented about it! Thanks again gash!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching!

[@amphion_au]

Just carbed a flat beer i'd put in a 1.25 using a normal carb cap and sat here drinking sedement while watching that.. definately getting one..

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching!

[@MrSurprenant1]

Thanks Mate..

[@snowwis11]

Great video liked it so much order one today thanks.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching!

[@SamLarkman]

Nice One!, I'm going to keep my eyes open for one of those over here! Cheers Mate!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers Sam, works well!

[@lisacarruthers9649]

Genius!

[@raiderrob672]

Now if they only had a combination beer in/out cap.

[@LincolnSP150]

There was a large bug crawling up and down the wall in the background on the left side.

[@paulw38aus]

you can use to clean beer lines as well

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

thats true! I just find the garden sprayer better for cleaning lines, no need to keep adding gas, and that in turn saves gas too! Thanks for watching! Cheers mate!

[@TomHunter]

Thanks for the video!!! Awesome! :)

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers Tom!

[@krzatek]

Great idea, would this work with room temperature beer? I wanted to try pressure fermenting in keg and then bottling a bottle or two per week.

[@STEVEGSXR]

yes yes that is AWESOME good idea

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers mate!

[@AdamSymonds]

Thanks. This worked very well besides for some reason when I fill the bottle it seems to suck the yeast off the bottom of the keg into the bottle resulting in a cloudy beer that isn't coming out of the tap. Could this be the pressure? I did it quite slowly so I'm not sure. Thanks

[@jamesspinks716]

8 year old video but just as relevant today.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers James!

[@timwood8733]

do you have a similar one for beer glass bottles ?

[@haydnmaxwell649]

Can you use this system to connect to the beer line a push sanitiser from the plastic bottle to clean a beer line? Or can you connect the barb at the bottom to your pressure spray which will avoid buying the keg post and other fittings you showed on your previous vid of how to make your own beer line cleaner? Tha

[@SmartyPints]

nifty! never seen it before.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Cheers Graham

[@timwood8733]

how long will carbonation last in pet bottle eg 6mths or 12 months

[@DosProntoBrewing]

Greta vid!

[@thiskingswingsthings]

Thanks for all your videos Gash - they have taught me alot!! If you swap out the pressure cap with a normal PET cap how long do you think the beer would stay carbonated if kept in the fridge? Thanks again

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Well it should stay carbonated for a very very long time, it will lose a tiny bit of carb as the headspace in the bottles pressure evens out, but thats it really. PET are apparently permeable but when was the last time you picked up a flat bottle of coke? Cheers mate!

[@samellis3999]

Thanks for this vid really helpful. Please can you point me in the right direction to the correct fitting beer jumper leads to connect into keg and CPFC? seen quite a few so just want to get the right fit, I also have a corny keg

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

The gas fitting is just straight from the bottle or gas manifold. The beer line is just a piece of line with a beer or black quick disconnect at both ends, that's it! Cheers!

[@mrsomedrunk2251]

I ordered 2 on ebay.$29.15 Us Total

[@adventurer3645]

You left some star-san in the bottom of the bottle before putting the beer in. Any way to easily rinse that out?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

+ludwig fan You wouldn't rinse it out, you can tip as much as you like out though. To be honest if you aren't storing it for a length of time, the star san isnt even needed. Cheers mate!

[@briankathy2580]

Good on ya mate, great vid: But at the end (8:50 onward) you left me a bit confused. Why would you want to use the other type (normal style) of cap to add some extra gas, when you could just swap back to the gas line on the cap you are using? Does the “normal style” cap handle more pressure than the new one?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

No, purely for the fact that you might only have one of the new ones, and you might want to fill more bottles, putting the other style means you can top up the 'headspace with the right pressure, compared to using the regular plastic bottle cap. Cheers!

[@Poppy-ub3zb]

I have some questions. How much pressure did you set on regulator when you purged the oxygen out and also when you filled in PET bottle? I am afraid of too much pressure when filling in. Can PET bottle withstand 30-35 psi if that is serving pressure pushing in the keg?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Wow never heard of pouring pressure at 30psi? Some PET will handle that pressure, but you dont want to be doing it at that pressure, things would get messy fast. I force carb at 30psi for 24hrs, then drop it down to 12psi for serving. Doing bottle filling like this I'd drop the pressure way down maybe 2psi ish. The beer will still be carbonated at the 12psi, all your doing is filling. Hope that helps. Cheers

[@colwk]

How long does the beer stay carbonated after recapping? And can a filter be used inline with the filler?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Beer stays carbonated for ever, until you open, unless the bottle leaks. Yes you could use a filter if needed, I've never tried, but there's no reason you couldnt rig something up. Cheers!

[@colwk]

@@HomeBrewNetwork thanks for the reply

[@DullahanBrewing]

Great upload m8, am i right in thinking though that currently these are only available from KegKing.au ? Cheers.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

I've seen them here too www.ebay.com.au/itm/Carbonation-Line-Cleaning-Cap-Counter-Pressure-Bottle-Filling-Home-Brew-/271434448309?pt=AU_Barware&hash=item3f32c0fdb5&_uhb=1

[@bigernbladesmith]

I just tried this and had major foam issues until I turned the pressure down to 3psi. Then the keg stopped pushing out beer at all only co2 after 3 bottles. What the heck am I doing wrong?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

sounds like a pressure problem, make sure its all equal in bottle and from keg. Cheers!

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

or you have a leak somewhere, dodgy seal maybe?

[@bigernbladesmith]

@@HomeBrewNetwork There ended up being a hole in my floating dip tube. I swapped it out and I have beer flowing again. Thanks.

[@TheElatorre]

Thanks for the video. One question: minute 1:13, does this come to accept gas and beer lines? Or did you do anything to it? Thanks

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Its machined so it accepts both, Cheers!

[@mrinvader]

.... and its fulla beahhh XD thats what i like!

[@SideGateStudios]

Can those caps be used to clean beer lines? Using your pressure sprayer, connect one end to the cap and then just connect the ball lock to your quick disconnects to clean beer lines?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

+chuckawobbly yep for sure! These weren't out when I made the line cleaner. Cheers!

[@jgdmlw]

I bought one just for cleaning my corny keg kegerator lines and I use it to clean party tap lines.

[@justinverran2915]

Where do you get one

[@ruggend]

nice video. can you post a link to purchase one? Thanks.

Thanks!

[@13guns87]

Where do I get these from? I'm from the uk but don't mind ordering outside as long as they deliver here.

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Try ebay www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR2.TRC1.A0.H0.Xcarbonation+cap.TRS0&_nkw=carbonation+cap&_sacat=0 Or you can ring around the bigger brew shops in UK I guess, maybe even amazon. I get mine sent from China usually. Cheers mate

[@themoxthemoxthemox]

does it matter if the length of line doesn't reach the bottom of the bottle? does it just mean there is more chance of foam when filling? (i have a short piece of hose but a longish bottle)

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

I'd guess you'd get some foaming yes, but I think if you can maybe tilt the bottle and if the hose is near or on the side of the bottle and take it slow it will probably work out, a small bit of foam wont matter anyway, and to cap on foam is a good thing. Take it slow and the the pressures may keep foaming to a minimum. Cheers!

justin verran No worries mate , cheers!

[@domklein]

Hi Gash, what PSI do you recommend to use when filling the bottle ? cheers

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

G'day, turn it down low it will be easier to do. It's different for different set ups, but somewhere between 3-6 psi should be plenty, if its too slow turn it up a bit! Cheers!

[@domklein]

ok - nice one - cheers

[@MikeSmith-dp7iz]

Cool! thanks mate! ....(did I say it right?? lol)

[@orkodan]

Do you know if these fit on bottles outside of aus?

[@HomeBrewNetwork]

Not 100% sure! They are just the regular PET bottle lids. Cheers!

[@orkodan]

Gash Slugg Hi, just to confirm the bottle filler fits bottle from Norway so guessing it's a standard size thread the world over :)

Oh, it may be a fish tank, now that I look again.
