I add a 2 inch length of tubing that fits over both the racking cane and the cobra tap end to prevent the cane from slipping free of the tap. if this happens you get a nice counter pressure beer geyser which is not at all fun.
Yo, people, what's the best procedure to bottle from a keg when not in possession of a beer gun? I don't need to fill a lot of bottles, so I don't want to buy this expensive toy right now.

I don't need to fill a lot of bottles, so I don't want to buy this expensive toy right now.Buy a #2 or 2 1/2 one hole stopper. Stick a piece of tubing through it so that the tubing sticking out the bottom is long enough to reach the bottom of the bottle once the stopper is seated. Leave a few inches sticking out the top. Stick the tubing coming out the top into a beer tap. Seat the stopper in a bottle. Open the tap. The beer will fill about 1/3 of the bottle before pressure builds up and stops the flow. At that point, use your thumb to very slightly crack the stopper and start the beer flowing again. When the bottle is full close the tap. No foaming and you retain the beer's carbonation. This works so well I've never used anything else.
Some people have worried about infection from the tap. Do y'all recommend any particular cleaning procedure (cleaning the tap) before filling a bottle. PS. I have a beer gun. It is a pain to clean before and after use.
