How a Counter Pressure Bottle Filler Works?

  • The premise behind a counter pressure bottle filler is to fill the bottle while it is under constant pressure to prevent foaming and loss of carbonation.

The actual process takes place in stages

  • In the first stage, the bottle is filled with CO2 to purge all of the air from the bottle.
  • Second, the bottle is pressurized so that the CO2 in the bottle is at the same pressure as the carbonated beer to be added.
  • Third, the bottle is filled, and CO2 is allowed to escape from the bottle as beer displaces it while maintaining constant pressure.
  • Finally the filler is removed and the bottle is quickly capped.
  • If the steps are done properly, the beer will be under constant pressure during the entire process and will retain its carbonation.

Counter Pressure Bottling in Practice

  • While the theory is straightforward, using a counter pressure bottle filler the first few times can be a challenge.

Here are some tips to help keep things under control

  • Keep the keg at serving pressure, and if possible use a filling line that is approximately the same as your normal serving line. This will assure that the bottle is carbonated at the correct pressure.
  • Chill the bottles in the refrigerator before using so there is no change in temperature when the beer contacts the bottle.
  • The bottles must be sterilized, which presents a challenge since they also should be cold. Fill the bottles with an iodophor solution before putting in the fridge, then dump before filling.
  • Make sure that the bottle filler is properly seated before filling.
  • Fill the bottles nearly to the brim, as removing the filler will leave you with the correct amount of headspace.
  • Moderate spillover when removing the filler is normal due to the pressure release before capping.
  • Cap as quickly as possible after removing the filler to minimize the chance of air getting into the bottle.
