Hey all-

Over the passed year I have gotten pretty good at using my CPF. All the beers I've bottled up untill recently have been standard carbonation level beers. No more than 2.5 volumes.

Well I have a belgian tripel carbed to 4 volumes, and saison carbed to 3.5 volumes that I can already tell is gonna be a ***** trying to bottle for comp.

Here are my main questions/concerns. For competition you usually have to bottle in 12 ounce bottles. When you use the CPF you should set the regulator psi a couple psi higher than that of the keg. Surely my bottles will explode under this type of pressure right??

Is my only choice to lower the carb level to around 3 for bottling in 12oz bottles?

Is there any tricks anyone has to bottling high carbonation beers?
