I tried a variation. I did the plastic jug but then collected the
resulting liquid directly into sanitized bottles. I then placed the
uncapped bottles inside a CO2 purged corny keg at the appropriate
pressure - I'll remove them later this week to cap the bottles. I am
not sure this is going to work but figured I could end up with more
beer this way since I won't have worry about loss via the counter
pressure filler when I only have enough liquid for a very few bottles.
You can get around 6 bottles to stand up inside a corny, use some
empties if necessary to keep the full ones from tipping over.

If you freeze a sanitized plastic water jug 3/4 full
and stick it in an
ordinary refrigerator freezer, I've found it achieves the purpose. Leave
it a few days, then strain the resulting slurpee through a sanitized
stainless steel strainer into another container to collect your reward!
(If the container happens to be a corny keg, then your beverage can be
carbonated prior to bottling...)
