• If you need a quick bottle or two or a growler filled from your kegerator, there’s no need to hook up your Beer Gun or Counter Pressure Bottle Filler.  Just slip a piece of tubing over your faucet and pour.
• 3/8″ ID Tubing fits snugly over most picnic/cobra faucets.
• 1/2″ ID Tubing fits snugly over most Perlick type faucets.
• If you’re an Intertap faucet user, consider the Growler Filing Attachment
• If you use forward sealing faucets counter pressure option are now available that allows you to easily counter pressure fill bottles without a lot of tubing and cleanup.  See: Tapcooler – Nukatap Counter Pressure Bottle Filler
• Make sure your length of tubing goes all the way to the bottom of the container you’re filling
• Sanitize the tubing and the receiving bottle.
• Reduce your regulator PSI down to 2 or 3 PSI, vent your keg to release excess pressure and fill your bottle or growler slowly from the bottom.
• Cap on foam and you’re good to go.
• If you have a compatible forward sealing faucet, The Tapcooler is worth a hard look.  This is a counter-pressure filler that attaches directly to your faucet.  Since it attaches directly to your faucet, you don’t have all the tubing to deal with.
