I did see that above or in another thread. Do you need to switch washers in and out depending on the bottle being used? Is that easy?f00b4r wrote: You can use it with glass if you cut a washer down and accept the risk of filling glass under pressure (although you should be using the same as it is carbonated at anyway).

Re: Beer Gun or counter pressure filler
Very easy. PET requires no washer. Glass requires the washer to be fitted

Ah, that does sound like a good solution then, cheers.Goulders wrote:Very easy. PET requires no washer. Glass requires the washer to be fitted

Re: Beer Gun or counter pressure filler
Just for clarity the Original Evolution will come with a standard plastic bottom part, this will except PET maybe some glass, although a metal spacer washer will help.
The picture of the one I posted was my adapted handmade model, hence the extra (double) "evolution" part.
Which is fully adjustable for most bottles
OR this for the odd size bottles = Leffe Bottles.
I did even make one for the flip top type although in operation it involved too much flaff.
A simple metal washer will work but a purpose made thing saves time and washer slippage.

Re: Beer Gun or counter pressure filler
If you have a look for the owners manual, part 34 is the bottle holder bit & it does from memory give a height, it might be worth asking Pegas if they sell different / variants of this part?f00b4r wrote:So when are you selling them Barney?

As for selling them nope these were more of a one off to suit my own requirements (mainly for the leffe bottle size).
To make, stainless tube, stainless washer, 6mm stainless bolt.
Cut tube to 65 / 60mm length, cut out section of washer to except bottle diameter, cut out section of tube to except bottle height, silver solder (or weld) washer to tube, drill & tap hole to except a 6mm thumb turn & 6mm original screw from Pegas.
NOTE placement of hole is VERY important, a fraction in any direction makes alot of difference.

If you just want a simple washer
Note the Originals & CRO do have a slightly different size bottle holder so adjust the washer to suit your make.

Re: Beer Gun or counter pressure filler
Ali do exactly the same thing, no idea if its original or the one you linked to is the same?
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/beer-bot ... .61.E9ajYx
The Ali pictures are better & so is the description, especially the bit about the adaptor, they have been around for the last 6 to 9 months but as far as I know have not been reviewed on a UK HB forum.
The same problem will exist in the type of glass bottle they take unless the "adaptor" is adjustable.
Just waiting for someone to buy one to review.

Re: Beer Gun or counter pressure filler
Just one other thing for anyone reading this thread, if you do see a CRO filler in a nice green presentation box on AliExpress DONT buy one, they fxxked up the internal mould and to get it to work you need to drill out some plastic / fill part of a hole with waterweld putty.

Re: Beer Gun or counter pressure filler
well My Cheap Chinese Pegas Copy Arrived on Friday, less than 2 weeks after ordering and it seems pretty well made. Set it up today and tested it with a few PET Bottles which is handy as I am going round to a friends house later for Sunday Lunch so wont arrive empty handed. not bad for £27 inc. postage .. Now I just need to make a spacer to fill glass bottles
