I don't know about you guys, but to me beer tastes much better in bottles than cans. However, shotgunning beer in a bottle has always been a pain in the ass. I mean sure, you can use the bent straw trick, but that always seems to make the beer go everywhere. Well I think I have come up with a cheap solution. I was thinking about how to make something that you could use to shotgun bottled beer and still be able to let air in the bottle so it would flow quickly. I went to the local hardware store and came up with this.
The bottle goes in the top and fits sugly inside the large piece of rubber tubing. The small piece of tubing goes inside the bottle to let air in while the beer goes out. Obviously, you put your mouth on the elbow piece. Its made out of a piece of PVC pipe, a few pieces of clear rubber hose, and a nipple that I made out of something else. I'm sure someone has come up with something like this before, but I looked on google and didn't really find anything other than some beer blaster thing that's $20 and apparently doesn't work worth a damn.
Tell me what you guys think! It actually works really good and keeps the beer from foaming up.
BTW: I made a few extras of these and would be willing to sell them for $10 a piece. It may sound high, but the rubber tubing and the little nipple pieces are not cheap. They cost me about $7 a piece to make. I have three that I will sell. They are pretty easy to make. If anyone wants to know the exact sizes of the parts ( to make your own), let me know.
