Frustration with Bottling from a keg.

[Skipp107]

I have a keg that is stored at serving temp (55f) and can pour a great pint into a glass but I can not fill a bottle for the life of me. I am using the [ame="http://youtu.be/4pWISuhSC7s"]Poor Man's Beer Gun setup.[/ame] All I get is foam. I can not figure what is going wrong here.

I turned the pressure at the regulator to 2 pounds or less and it worked fine. It's slow but seems to work.

I agree with Dawson. You have to set your reg to around 3 psi. It will fill really slowly, but it'll be worth it. Also, try to keep your empty bottle at the same temperature as the beer (55 for your case) to avoid foaming due to temperature change of the beer. If you have your keg in a keezer or kegerator you will want to throw your empty bottles in the freezer for about 15 minutes first.
