do you guys chill your bottles before a refill the supplier said to chill them i have never done it before. do you keep them in a cooler on your way to the supplier or how do you keep them cool. thinking about a plastic tout with a bag of ice

depends if the place has a pump or not. I fill my own at home and use a small freezer, I even fill bottles for people but have them leave um with me for a half day or so. I think freezing them at home and just transporting in a ice chest you would be better off just sticking them in the chest w ice to begin with or even a bucket of ice water when you get there.

Depends on if it's the dead of summer too. Even if they have a pump some fillers around here will make you wait while they chill your bottles in a freezer/bucket of ice water before filling them during the summer months just because it reduces the work load on their pumps.

depends on the tune, 900-950 seems to be the norm and less press drop on the run.

dont overfill the bottles either, in fact run them a pound less is a better deal .
