How Best To Use Counter Pressure Filler

By Maria Thomas


The first step just like any other brewing tactics of any home made brew is to ensure all the bottles are sterilized together with any other equipment to be used. When using the counter pressure filler, it is easy to ensure that it well sanitized by way of opening all the valves and immersing the products into sterilizer solution. While in the solution it should be left to rest for a few minutes just to be sure all the germs are cleared. After that, you need to hold the product and blow it the solution from it with the help of carbon monoxide.

The next step is to gather the caps and bottle that you will use. If possible, have a capper ready. When you are doing this, you should make sure that the beer you are brewing is carbonated if you want to reduce the foam, get to as close as 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the bottles on a tray so that it could capture any spillage.

Also if you are looking forward to reducing the foam, then you can put the containers in the freezer. This cold atmosphere will go a long way in making sure that the foam is lessened.

After this process then you need to make sure all the three valves that are connected to the beer, the gas, and the liquid are tightly closed. When connecting you should always start by connecting the fluid first, followed by the gas and the keg should be the late one. If you are brewing for the first time you need to take your time and follow all the steps slowly otherwise a slight mistake will cover your face with beer. Nothing should be rushed as you also need to ensure the bottle is not filled with foam only.

If the beer is connected to carbon monoxide, you should disconnect it and pull the pressure relief until when you hear the hissing stopping. Insert the filler in the bottle while making sure that the stopper is firmly seated in the neck of the bottle.

And if you are wondering what to do after the previous step, then you should open the gas slowly. This works to the advantage of the keg, where they attain the same level. And you will certainly know when it is, as the hissing sounds will stop. Then you will be tasked to open the bleed valves halfway, allowing the oxygen in the bottle to run, this makes the carbon dioxide that was out to get in the bottle. This should at least take place for about ten seconds allowing enough air in.

After this process, you should now close the bleed valve to allow the bottle in use to pressurize. The gas valve should be closed as you get to the next step of opening the liquid valve in full. Since the level of the pressure in the keg and that in the beer are the same, there will be no flow of beer. You should, therefore, begin filling the bottle slowly with beer making sure there is less foam.

Once the bottle is filled close the three valves and cap the bottle. You might notice some foam; this is nothing to worry about since it will help in the prevention of oxidization of beer. The next thing is to repeat the procedure again filling the number of bottles that you want. After you are done, disconnect everything and store the remaining product when dry so that it does not get any mold or bacteria.
