I am looking at counter pressure fillers. I have looked at a number of commercially available fillers and I also have plans for a home built filler from the book Brew Ware: How to Find, Adapt & Build Homebrewing Equipment. I am wondering if anyone has built the filler outlined in the book and if they have had good results with it. I am not a huge do-it-yourselfer, but this project seems pretty simple and inexpensive.
I suppose I should add that if anyone has built a good counterpressure filler and can point me to some plans, I would appreciate that as well…I am not wedded to the plans in my book ;D

Somewhere around here, there’s a guy that has a video on making one out of a picnic tap (cobra tap), rubber stopper, bottling wand & air pump needle.
I just used one to bottle for a competition & it worked pretty well.
I made the CPBF from the aformentioned book & used it for many moons before “upgrading” to a FOXX Mfg. model. Not too much difference except the valves.
