Well, after the last try at using the beer gun with somewhat mixed results I think that I've found the proper technique. Here are the steps that I took this time around:
1. Chilled keg to 40 degrees.
2. Set keg pressure to 4psi. (just enough to push out the beer)
3. Put sterilized bottles into the freezer to chill them. (nice and frosty)
4. Used a shallow baking pan to catch overflow, instead of the floor.
5. Did not have Freak help. (#1 reason for better results)
This time everything worked absolutely great! There was very little overflow I'd say less than a 1/8 cup for 4 beers. The only other thing that will make this work even better is a direct gas line to the keg, which Freak has taken care of with a new regulator with 3 gas outs. We will supply some pics of the new setup in the future until then Keep gettin' your freak on and have a freakin' homebrew.

fuck bottling! leave it in the keg. the only good thing about bottles is you can hide them on yourself so you can drink them later. plus whats better then have beer on tap?.. well maybe some pussy.. but it is a close second.. real close
nothing about this post.. just wondering if you guy had heard of thebrewingnetwork.com? alot of great shit on there.
DRB,
Unfortunately BJCP rules do not allow you to turn in kegs. That is our reason for bottling.
