With a Blichmann Beer Gun . . . or other CPBF :lol:
Failing that
Chill the carbonated beer to around freezing . . .
release all pressure in the keg,
then put up to 5 psi on it,
Chill the bottles tot he same temperature as the Beer.
connect a black disconnect to the keg Using 10 feet of 3/16 hose
Put the other end of the hose to the bottom of the bottle
Allow bottle to fill
remove hose and put in next bottle
Cap previous bottle
Repeat until all bottles are full
You will get some foaming, which is a good thing as you can cap on the foam just like the pros, or a squirt of CO2 into the bottle before putting the cap on can help.

Landlord.
I did this the other day and it varied a bit from the method above.
1st I cleaned and sanitised the bottles required, sealing with cling film and put them in the fridge where the corny was conditioning at 13 deg c, a day before filling the bottles.
On the day of filling I sanitised the enodis tap spout and ran the beer straight into the bottles. The foam generated came out of the bottle roughly 1" prior to the liquid, which is perfect for me, and as said above is a normal way of filling a bottle.
I've primed some bottles using glucose and 2 granules of S04, the others have just been left to get on with it.
I opened a non yeast primed bottle after 48 hours, twas very good, waiting on the primed as we speak.
Apparently a 'trick' is to bottle a few points high and let the residual sugars and yeast prime in the bottle.

Luckily my beer fridge is now in the brewery/workshop. So it may not last at all.
I found a half full cornie yesterday! Have no idea what it is but it's drinkable and a pale ale. :party: :
