Is the keg sitting at room temp?
If it's cold right now, hows the carbonation off the keg?
Assuming the beer is fully carbed and cold, the plastic bung that you push down on the opening of the bottle will reduce foaming (counter pressure) so you shouldn't need to adjust the pressure of the regulator. I also like to use the same amount of tubing that I do on the tap so the beer will pour into the bottle with the same/similar amount of foam as it would off the tap.
THX, I'll see if I can do that - we've very little room in here, the only freezaer is in the top of the fridge, the freezer is usally full of frozen veggies (we live month to month), but I will see if I can freeze enuff bottles to fill a plastic garbage can with water and try chilling the beer down - we may save some of the beer to carbonate yet! Any advice on how much priming sugar to put into a 22oz. bottle if I can fill them with cold (uncarbonated) beer?Chill the keg down. Freeze 1 liter plastic water bottles, put the keg in a tub of cold water, keep changing out the frozen water bottles, cover the whole thing with an old sleeping bag. If you can get the temp down, the foam problems might go away.
Also, Look on craigslist for a used Co2 tank and a regulator.
Use a priming sugar calculator:Any advice on how much priming sugar to put into a 22oz. bottle if I can fill them with cold (uncarbonated) beer?
It actually depends on the beer style but for a thumb rule 10 grams of table sugar for 22 oz and 7 to 8 grams for a 12 oz bottle.THX, I'll see if I can do that - we've very little room in here, the only freezaer is in the top of the fridge, the freezer is usally full of frozen veggies (we live month to month), but I will see if I can freeze enuff bottles to fill a plastic garbage can with water and try chilling the beer down - we may save some of the beer to carbonate yet!

First I think 14psi is too high. I fill at about 4 - 6 psi. If the flow is too rapid the CO2 can come out of solution. Did you notice if the beer had a head before kegging? Also, instead of the piece of tracking cane try a bottle filler cane. It has a one way valve to keep beer at the end of the tube not air. Hope this helps.I have designed my beer gun as described, picnic tap, line, stopper, a piece of racking cane. and I need some help with troubleshooting/ understanding. This was my first attempt of bottling from my keg. So I started off small. I took 2 bottles and placed them in freezer( i first sanitized them, then placed a piece of alum. foil (sprayed with starsan) over the opening) for about 2 weeks. I dropped my co2 to about 6 psi and filled the bottles. Once i got liquid/foam coming out of the top, i placed a cap on the bottle, and the preceded to the next bottle. Once both bottles was filled, i titled the bottles to get some foam up to cap and then capped them. Once capped i placed back into my keezer. Keezer is set to 40F. I waited for 1 week then had one. Then I waited 2 weeks to have the 2nd one.
I noticed that the beer was carbonated ( i can still see some bubbles rising up from the beer, but there was almost no head to to. Is this typical from filling bottles from a keg? Or did i mess up somewhere?
I have my co2 set at 14PSI. it was done on a Red Ale. Keezer temp 40F.
If you use a stopper, there really shouldnt be a reason to lower your psi. I hold the stopper down and "burp" the stopper a bit when the flow stops until the bottle is full and cap each bottle immediately.
Hello, this is my first time here. Yesterday I bottled 2 kegs of Hefe-Weizen (2nd time using BMBF filler), and it was super foamy. I used 5ft of 3/16 ID tubing for a 3.2 vol co2 beer (it was settled with 22 PSI at 42°F during a week). At the bottling time, kegs where at 35°F. I first started with 3-4 PSI and it was only foam (after bleeding valve). Then I setted 10-12 PSI and it improved, but anyway there was much foam, and now the bottles are quite flat.
What could be wrong? thank you!
I would try an appropriate length beer line for that pressure/volumes and the 22psi carbonation pressure to see how that goes.
Did you use a cork and allow the first bit of foam to fall back under pressure before doing the rest of the filling?
Was there foam instantly in the beer line right at the disconnect?
