• Premium Counter-Pressure Bottle filler that is designed for the smaller craft brewer or dedicated homebrewer to help make bottling day faster and more efficient
  • The four separate filling heads have individual Stainless Steel 3-way control valves that allow for quick fill rates
  • Only requires one person to operate
  • A single PRV provides equal backpressure on all heads resulting in matching flow rates without adjustment
  • Individual purge valves on each fill head allow for nearly all oxygen removal in a bottle, ensuring that the beer stays fresh for longer
  • The removable drip tray is fully draining with a barbed outlet for constant filling and easy cleaning
  • A purge valve on the reservoir helps make sure that foam never builds up
  • 304 Stainless Steel Construction and easy-to-use functionality, all resulting in a top-of-the-line bottle filler

Introducing the newly redesigned and updated G2 Medusa Multihead Counter Pressure Bottle Filler!  This unique unit was designed in-house by the MB Pro Engineering team and purpose built for the smaller craft brewer or dedicated homebrewer.  The Medusa will speed up bottling day while also reducing exposure to oxygen during the bottling process, resulting in higher quality beer with a longer shelf life.  

The Medusa Multihead Counter Pressure Bottle Filler can be adjusted to cater all bottling needs.  All four heads can be operated individually, and the height, back pressure, and fill speeds can be adjusted for various bottle styles.  We've done our best to pack this unit with features that will handle all jobs, while keeping costs as low as possible. 

Features:

  • 3-way stainless steel valves on both inlet & back pressure sides of all fill heads.
  • Improved Pressure Relief Valve has higher accuracy over fill rates, and directs foam into the drip tray rather than onto your bottles.
  • Robust stainless steel frame stands on its own or can be easily bolted or clamped to a work surface
  • Stainless steel fill reservoir keeps fill rates equal & reduces foaming
  • Inverted fill tubes & reservoir purge means cleaner filling with even less possibility for foam.
  • Dual TC Fill reservoir is easier to clean & allows for upgrades down the road (as they become available).
  • Easily adaptable to fill from nearly any pressurized vessel.
  • Height is adjustable from shorty bottles to growlers. 
  • Easy disassembly for cleaning, storage & maintenance, 
  • Sanitary 1.5" TC inlet for beer (Clamp and Gasket sold separately) 
  • 3/8" tube connection for CO2.
  • Backpressure Bar allows for a single adjustment point for fill rates. No more adjusting PRVs on each fill head.
  • Minimum Bottle Height: 6.9"
  • Maximum Bottle Height: 16.5"
  • Maximum Working Pressure: 15 PSI

Dimensions: 

  • Footprint: 26-3/8" L x 8" W
  • Drip Tray: 23-1/2" L x 5-1/2" W
  • Overall Height: 25-3/8"

 

Please Note: Filler valves include a Teflon gasket. Do not soak the valves in PBW which can corrode Teflon material after prolonged contact.

Best thing we have in our operation. Allows us to fill bottles very quickly. Doesn't take up space when not in use. Didn't break the bank to buy. I owe the engineers of this unit a keg of cider!

It fills great. Yet there are multiple dead legs that make cleaning and drying out between uses very labor intensive. The largest dead leg is at the far end of the filling head where it extends far beyond the 4th filling tube. This makes cleaning rinsing sanitizing and removing liquid before introducing beer to the filler very time consuming. Also the spring for the PRV is not stainless steel so its important to keep the spring lubed to avoid rusting. It should also be noted that there are zero check valves so it is important to keep the CO2 purge and counter pressure line pressure slightly less than the head pressure of the vessel you are filling from.

Love it!

Once you get used to it you are all set. I bottle using corny kegs so got creative to hook it up. This is a legit bottler and after getting the hang of it have quite an assembly line going at my winery & hard cidery. An understanding of counter pressure bottling will help tremendously so if you've been bottling with a single filler then you are ahead of the game! love the build quality and support.Had a few questions and they answered right away. Cheers & Thanks! Ian

What line size and material would you recomend for transferring beer from fermenter? 3/16" ID or 3/8" ID? Barrier silicone or reinforced vinyl?

MoreCoffee!

This line has a 1.5” tri-clamp inlet fitting. We use 1” nova flex brewers’ hose. I would recommend a larger hose than either that you have mentioned; part of the design of this line includes keeping the large product supply pipe full of beer so that pressure remains relatively constant on each head.

MoreCoffee!

I use a 3/8 inch hi temp thick silicone line with no problem whatsoever

Hi does this bottling machine comes with a pump or how it works ?

MoreCoffee!

It does not come with a pump or a manual. Yet I found the device to be very intuitive to use. You will need two CO2 sources; one to purge the O2 out of the bottles and the other to pressurize your keg or vessel full of beer that will fill your bottles. I typically purge the bottles with 8 psi CO2 and I pressurize my vessel full of beer to about 10 psi CO2.

MoreCoffee!

No pump. Push beer to filler with CO2.

MoreCoffee!

We hook this bottling machine to a pressurized tank. No pump required. We keep about 5psi pressure to fill bottles (of uncarbonated beer; we bottle condition the beer)

MoreCoffee!

Gas. Co2

MoreCoffee!

The bottler does not require a pump. Flow pressure comes from a CO2 tank hooked to source keg (in our application). This medusa has been a god-send cutting our filling time significantly.

MoreCoffee!

No pump. It’s completely manual.

Will this fill to a set level via the PRV?

MoreCoffee!

Yes and no. It can only make the bottle so full yet I find that it over fills by a little bit at that point. So I just manually stop it when it gets to my target fill level. Also it doesn't stop sending beer into the bottle so the beer will keep going into the bottom of the bottle and then the overflowing beer will go out the top and into the PRV and subsequently into the beer drip tray. I should also point out that the drip tray drain tends to not drain in my experience.

MoreCoffee!

No; the PRV controls the back pressure to allow you to balance the system under isobaric filling conditions. Opening the PRV will increase flow rate closing off will slow down the flow/fill rate useful for balance and controlling foam. The three way valve on the side of the filling head allows you to stop filling on a particular head and top off manually by opening to either the back pressure header or atmospheric vent.

MoreCoffee!

Yes it will. We have one if these and it leaves about 3/4" headspace before it starts purging foam/beer. Works well and is easy to adjust fill speed with PRV to control foaming.

MoreCoffee!

Hello! You will need to manually shut off when full. The PRV valve controls the speed of fill.

Hi is there any video of someone using it ? Just to get an idea of the beer botteling speed foam generation how to connect the lines tune the PRV etc. Thank you

MoreCoffee!

Hello Amaral unfortunately we don't yet have a video of this system in use.
