Anyone using one of these to long term bottle? If so how do you like them and how are they with glass bottles.

Thanks

Dan, I keg my beer and then force carbonate. I use B3's CPF to bottle for competitions, long term storage and neighborhood moochers that come by. It's definitely more of a hassle than to just keg, but I never had a problem with oxygenation. There are a couple of really good CPF on the market that I have tried (and still have) but I like the latest that B3 offers.

Here's a tip, if you do start using a CPF you will need to bump up your carbonation level a bit when bottling.

Thanks for the heads up GP, I wouldn't have seen that one coming although it makes perfect sense

Was thinking of building one

Hopefully this will give you some clues if you want to build your own...
