Carbonation Cap Carbacap C02 Coupling To Carbonate Soda Beer Fruit Juice Water

Why we love it?

One of the Carbacaps seems to work better than the other two in this regard. Next, there’s the issue with pressing on the ball lock valve. I use 2-Liter bottles. I usually squeeze out all of the air in the bottle before screwing on the Carbacap. This leaves the bottle in a very weak state. Pressing on the Carbacap is much easier on an unpressurized line. If the line is pressurized, you will have to push much harder, which usually causes the bottle to bend, being unsupported by the air inside. The way I get around this is by pressurizing the line and then turning off the CO2. This provides enough pressure to inflate the bottle with CO2 and leaves the line unpressurized so it’s easy to push the valve onto the Carbacap the rest of the way. At this point I turn the gas back on and shake away…

Some comments about this we saw on the web:

* /u/smiteme on /r/BurningMan Bringing bottles will be a serious pain in the ass… Sure you can keep the glass and the resulting moop caps a your camp, but it will still be a royal pain to manage and cart back out.

Last year I force carbonated 10 gallons of Homebrew into 3 liter pop bottles using the “carbonater” (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0064OKADS?tag=dirtyhippie-20)

It worked really well, was portable on the playa, and the plastic crushed up into small pieces of moop tha we carried out.

Do you have a Co2 tank or know someone who does?

This year I have some kegs finally, so things will be even easier, but if I didn’t, I would definitely go the force carb route again
