It's been a long time since I've bottle conditioned beer. I typically primary in a corny keg with floating dip tube, transfer to a serving keg, and use a Blichmann Beergun for any bottles that I've needed to fill. Hence that's always been pre-carbonated beer by the time it's in the bottle. Anyway, if I were to do some bottle conditioned beers with conditioning tablets, filled directly from primary, would it still be wise of me to use the Beergun's ability to purge the bottle with CO2 before filling? And perhaps purge any headspace before capping I suppose?
PS - FWIW, this will primarily be for Belgian-style beers. Does anyone have recommendations for bottles and/or carbonation tablets (brand, amount to use, etc) for Belgians? Still planning to cap. I'd rather not bother with corking.
Cheers!
