AiH bought AHBS. The previous owner was starting a Brewery.

Forrest started that brewery a while back (2012 IIRC).  AiH bought them out a month or two ago, I believe.

Video has been posted. It seems like a pretty solid design and breaks down well. He does mention setting the pressure to 8 psi, which is far below my normal serving pressure.

That's a pretty slick device. Having used the beergun, this looks to be a definite improvement for these kinds of devices. I do, however, question the "no need to reduce keg pressure" statement. I can only imagine huge foamy messes filling bottles from a 12psi fully carbonated keg.

Thanks for the video post.  I was considering purchasing this product until I viewed the video.  I always cap on foam to limit air in the bottle.  As the video clearly demonstrates a substantial amount of air gets pulled back into the bottle when you remove the instrument.  A design flaw in tip fillers in my opinion.  I suppose you can pull it out of the beer, then shoot more CO2 into the bottle.  Think I will stick with my Blichmann.

If you've already got a Blingmann, there's no reason to even consider buying this. It's tempting, but I've been getting along just fine with my picnic tap/bottle wand method. It's not ideal, but works well enough.

Overall, same basic service you get from a Blichmann, but the NB product looks to be a better design IMO.  You can always give a shot of co2 IN the beer as your pulling out to generate some foam.

Purging the headspace post fill might be a pain considering how far up the purge tube is in relation to the fill valve.
