Part list for counter pressure bottling with a picnic tap:
Tube that fits the picnic tap. For me a normal beer line works fine.
A rubber/plastic cone shaped kork with a hole it that fits the tube and that fits your bottle. The small end of the kork needs to be narrower than the bottle opening and the bigger end of the kork needs to be wider than the bottles opening.

Best, most informative brewing since original BrewingTV (with Mike, Jake and Chip)!! Too many people on YT over complicating the hobby, lusting over overpriced gear, and regurgitating received wisdom without testing it. Love your work mate!
Thank you so much!
Sound nr1 is your pet rabbits. It looks like spring.
Sound nr2 is your neighbor's industrial shop vac
😂
I like your DIY filler. 👍 And " den var för kort" incident shows the reality of this hobby. Keep up the good work! 😀
Thanks!
sound nr 1 is a stove fan, nr 2 is a tumble dryer, old vid I know!
Always enjoy your work Dr.Hans, Cheers from down under.
Great video thank you for the tips!
Thanks
Thanks Hans, after 3+ years of bottle conditioning I am just getting into kegging and that was a great presentation on how to bottle from the keg with minimal equipment investment.
Thanks for the support, cheers!
Parts list and recipe in description please!
I added a part list for you. But it kind a depends. Did my best to help. Cheers
@@DrHansBrewery thanks Doc!
#1 - stir plate , #2 dishwasher - great vid BTW!
Cool
No 1 is a stir bar in a flask on your stir plate.
No2 is air conditioner
Thanks for share. Cheers!
Thanks mate hope it was helpful.
Dr Hans I have just started brewing but I only brew with pre kit only beers for the moment. I brew in the fermzilla.
I was so daring if you could possibly do a kit video so as to show me if I'm doing everything right.
Love the videos by the way keep it up.
What kind of kit do you mean?
@@DrHansBrewery i mean the ones where the wort is in a tin and you simply add malt and water and then the yeast.
I was hoping you could do a video on how to get the very best out of such a kit and what you can do to make them a little tastier.
Thanks for the reply, hope you can help.
Liam.
Another cracking video DrHans sounds like a cracking beer. Not sure about second sound I think NR 1 is yeast starter on stir plate and nr 2 is keggrator or water cooler not sure cheers
Hi Hans! Sounds like a great beer, this cherry stout. Makes me want to brew it. Thanks for sharing (most of) your recipe. Would you also be willing to share your mash schedule?
Hi Christoph! It sure was. So nice so it made it into my second ebook 3 stouts to die for. Check it out if you want on my website drhansbrewery.com.
Heres the mash schedule:
Mash in 60min at 66C
Mash out 20min at 75C
Cheers!
Skulle hittat denna innan vi försökte köra öl från keg till flaska....
Stort tack
Tack, bara kul att det hjälper någon!
@@DrHansBrewery just denna gång är det kört 😥 men nästa gång kan det bara bli bättre 😁
@@sirtooby bara att se framåt!
Hey Dr.Hans, would appreciate a video on how you fill your kegs and your gassing process.Cheers enjoy your videos. Scott
+Scotts Beer Hi Scot! Noted, will put that on the list. Cheers!
Nice vid doc! I think both the sounds are from the dishwasher #1 from the main program and #2 flushing out the dirty water when ready! Cheers! :P
#1 Stir plate with stir bar #2 fermantaion fridge cycling on. Good luck to me.
It isn't really counter pressure filling in the beginning as even though you've blasted a little CO2 in before filling, it is at ambient pressure of 1ATM and the pressure only really starts as it fills up. Curious to try if it helps reduce the head / foaming at the beginning of the pour. Thanks!
Yes you're right, but the pressure builds up fast in the bottle. The blast of CO2 is to scrub the bottle of oxygen. It has nothing to-do with pressure. Cheers
first of all, thanks for the video, I have an idea that I want to try out, and I would like you to give me an opinion.
In principle the workflow should be like this, primary fermentation is done in a plastic conical fermentor, where after cold crashing it with glycol immersion chiller, I would transfer Beer with a pump to a pressurised stainless steel vessel (custom made Brite essentially),
but in between I would be transfering the beer through a
1st chiller with a copper coil dropping the temp to 2C,
2nd Filter (made from inline single pass water filter) and in the end
an inline carbonator.
After complete transfer from Primary, i would reattach the hose from the primary to the Brite's OUT and recirculate until reaching equilibrium.
This is basically the same principle as if I am using a keg, so please answer, your advice and opinion would be helpful.
The tank is 200l capacity, don't know empirical measure, I live in Europe :D
best regards, George
Dr Hans brewery how do I win free beer!!!
I will send you some my beer back for your non biased review and in return I will give you my non biased view off your beer !!!!
I'm still searching for the win a free beer button myself
why people hate bottling 101
Good useful information though
Thanks!
Great video again. Good looking beer. Deffo stir plate and lets say dish washer. :-)
Hi Dr. Hans, great video! why did you build the picnic tap in that way? with the thin line? (minute 2:36)
The thin line is for balancing the system. Instead of a longer normal line.
I've been watching your older videos and I must say it's so interesting how you do this stuff. Can I move over there for you to be my mentor and teach me the art? Haha
Sure, bring snacks!
@@DrHansBrewery in abundance 😉😂
@@jennifersaville4332 it's a date!
@@DrHansBrewery sweet😉😂
@@jennifersaville4332 Just say when so I have time to tidy up a bit!
DrHans, My biggest question. Does the tubing fit inside the faucet, our does it fit on the outside? it's hard to tell in the video.
Inside the faucet!
May I ask, what are those John Guest(?) fittings from the 3/16 small beer line to the picnic tap barb connection? Part numbers / names?
This is the part: amzn.to/2BisvET
Great video!
How do you avoid oxygen creeping into the tubing? I imagine when filling the first part of the bottle the oxygen which entered the tubing after removing it from the sanitizer will mix with the beer and oxidize it. What do you think?
Its all about doing the best you can to keep oxygen out. This way isn't perfect, but it's so much better than a lot off alternatives.
Great video. I tried to make something like this a while back but when i was filling it, i guess i wasn't holding the plug hard enough and beer went all over the place. I haven't tried since then. Now after watching this, I think I will try it again.
One question, do you lower the psi on the keg and purge the co2 in it, or do you just use whatever it was set on to carb?
Thanks!
Jason Unterman Try it again. It's very simple. Something most have gone wrong. Try with the regulator at around 1.5bar. Wouldn't go under one bar.
Ahh. I saw the other comment about .5 and 1 bar, but wasn't sure what that was. Now i realize its the keg's pressure. Why wouldn't you go lower? Afraid it would affect the carb of the beer?
Jason Unterman I found out that it works Better to fill when the preassure aint to low.
Nice video. Sounds like you have some guinea pigs in your brewery. ;)
Hope not! :D
The only thing you didn't say was "Stone the crows" #RealAleCraftBeer
Why can't I fill without the bung? Then cap straight away?
I have a video where I do that also direct from the tap.

Honestly this method takes forever to bottle - too much for me, but great diy idea anyways 😀
Yes, my methods aren't for everyone. I'm just showing the way I do it. Thinking of putting up a video with side by side bottles bottled differente ways. A like "us it worth it video". What do you think about that?
0.5 bar on the keg during the filling?
The Hop Rod Garage 1bar. havent have succes with to less preasure. Skål!
What is the inner diameter of that tube on the picnic tap?
inner diameter 1/8" (3,2 mm) and outer diameter 3/16" (4,8 mm)
Are these sizes common in europe? I can only find metric and 3/8" tubes in my country. On the other hand the JG Speedfit connectors and adapters/reducing connectors are imperial.
toxto yes they are common here
generic hateful comment
Awesome, keep it up mate!
