Any tips on using a bottling gun to make sure beer stays well carbed? Need to use one for the first time for this swap which isn't ideal!

Get the bottle as cold as possible before filling

Freezer cold?

Freezer cold?

At least as cold as the keg. I've never frozen them but dont think it would hurt.
Having the beer slightly overcarbed in the keg is ok too as you will inevitably lose a little carb bottling, but a low pressure on the keg while you are bottling is also helpful.

Yeah this is my process, I usually put the gas back on the keg for 12 hours or so before I am going to bottle, then I vent a bit to slow the flow down, pour myself a pint and then immediately fill the bottles.

There will be a separate review thread, usually started around the 23rd

This was my plan but just noticed the gas was left on and I've got a leak somewhere. Hastily ordering another cannister!
