Blichmann beer gun stopper issue

(1/2) > >>

mmmaibock:
I just used my beer gun for the first time.  Four times, as I set the gun into a sterilized pitcher to arrange bottles, the rubber stopper at the tip came off.  It was assembled correctly, inserting the tip through the slot in the stopper.  Any ideas?  I lost a lot of beer and worry about losing the stopper in a bottle.  Is there an adhesive that would be safe to use?

ajk:
Inspect the stopper closely.  Is it torn?

That happened to me.  Just replaced it.  Brand new it should be good though.

When I first got my beer gun, my stopper came off a few times as well.  Like you, I was concerned about losing it, so I quickly ordered two replacements.  Three years later, the two replacements are still in my accessary drawer.  (but somehow I feel better, knowing they are there)  I don't know why it stopped falling off, but it did.  Although it's so small, I do fear losing it when I disasemble for cleaning.

jeffy:
It has happened to me a couple times, too.  I have to remember not to bump it at all.
Finding it in the bottom of a beer bottle sucks.
