Wade if you bring the temp down to freezing while bottling, as well as freeze the bottles, you will find you get very little foam, even when over-carbonated.

I did freeze the bottles and will eventually get a freezer for this and a temp control to use for my kegged beer. Thanks, I had a feeling I shouldnt have done this at this temp but you never know until you try. Oh well, it does have some carbonation and still tastes great.

I wish I seen this before I bought my Beer Gun (which I haven't got to use yet). It get pretty good reviews. The one the fellow made in the link looks like it ought to work fine as well. I do hope to get to try the beer gun soon though. I have a Brew House Pilsner going that I might try to bottle. Gonna be 2-3 months before it is done lagering though.

Ill have to see if I can whip up something like that, I did see that contraption in a post also but was a little unsure but now that i look at it a little closer it looks feasible.

I just now realized that when I did the carbed bottling using the picnic tap and the racking cane method that I was supposed to use a rubber bng for a stopper on the cane to prevent carb loss.

What a dope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just kegged both a Brew House Cream Ale and the Crab Apple wine so Ill give it a try on the Crab Apple as i bottled the extra gallon that didnt fit in the corny with the Cream Ale and used carb drops.
