Counter pressure bottle fillers (CPBF) work very well. If you don't go that
route, add a length of hose to the faucet so it reaches the bottom of the
bottle or growler. After sanitizing, wrap the opening of the bottle/growler
with foil (also dipped in the sanitizer) then freeze them. Help keep the
CO2 in solution (you should do this with a CPBF, too).

Beer here,

Mike
