Stainless Steel Carbonation Cap for PET Bottles

Yosoo Stainless Steel Carbonation Cap Home Brew Beer Fast Soda Made Counter Pressure Bottle Filling Fit Most Soft Drink PET Bottles

More Info

Highlighted Features

【Stainless Steel】Made of stainless steel material, more solid and last longer, making it easier to carbonate your beverages!
【Method of Operation】With this cap you can simply fill an old PET bottle with cold liquid of your choice and carbonate by connecting your gas ball lock disconnect.
【Making Soft Drinks】With it, you can make your own soda water, carbonate beer, or even make your own soft drinks.
【for Most PET Bottles】It is designed to fit onto most soft drink PET bottles, inject CO2 into the bottle, creating carbonation.
【Add and Maintain Carbonation】The carbonation cap is highly effective method to add and maintain carbonation in beverages for extended periods of time.

Applications:

PET Bottles as Growlers: These are generally intended to convert 1L and 2L bottles to growlers. Fill up a 1L or 2L PET bottle with your favorite homebrew. Put one of these on (purge the headspace by squeezing if you want to) and then pressurize for transport. This should help to reduce oxygen pickup and maintain carbonation levels.
Fine tune or rapidly carbonate beer: You can also use this cap to rapidly carbonate beer. Same process as for transport, just set your regulator to the proper pressure and shake or agitate the PET bottle to help introduce CO2. Or hook it up to CO2 and let it sit in you kegerator.

Build a Spunding Valve! – How and Why

A Spunding Valve allows you to maintain a set pressure. If pressure in the vessel exceeds the set point, it is expelled. It generally consists of an adjustable PRV valve, a tee, a gauge and a way to connect to your keg.

Homebrewing Applications of a Spunding Valve

Pressurized fermentation. Ferment in a 5 or 10 gallon corny keg and use your Spunding Valve instead of an airlock. This allows you to ferment at your desired pressure.
Dry hop under pressure. This allows you to dry hop earlier while reducing oxygenation. Active yeast are more likely to metabolize oxygen that’s introduced during dry hopping during active fermentation. Since CO2 is not exiting beer as vigorously under pressure, wanted compounds, flavors and aromas are more likely to stay in your beer under pressure.
Naturally and accurately carbonate beer right in the keg.
An airlock replacement. Keep the valve wide open for non-pressurized fermentations. Only do this if you have plenty of head space. This wouldn’t make a great blow off tube.
Keg to keg transfers. Use the Spunding Valve to allow excess gas to exit the receiving keg as you transfer under pressure. Helps you achieve a slow, controlled and pressurized transfer.
Fix over-carbonated beers.
Test for keg leaks. Pressurize your keg to serving pressure. Put the Spunding Valve on (with the pressure set well above your serving PSI) and note the reading. The gauge should remain steady. If pressure drops, you know you have a keg leak. The digital build, see below, is especially helpful for this task, The digital gauge reads with .1 PSI resolution making pressure changes easy to spot. It’s worth noting that this checks the entire keg including gas body o-ring. That spot is hard to check and other way as it’s only in function when the gas QD is on. When the gas QD is on… it’s difficult to spray and check for bubbles underneath the gas QD. Thanks to Scott Janish for this tip!
As an airlock for long term aging of beers. Airlocks can run dry over time. A Spunding Valve will not.
Utilize CO2 from fermentation for flushing kegs and fermenters.

One of the questions that arises on these type of carb caps, is… does it work with both liquid and gas posts? Some models are universal fit and some work only with gas posts. For draft line cleaning projects to work well, at least in my opinion, the carb cap that’s used needs to be universal. I’m happy to report that the one I received did indeed work with both liquid and ball lock posts. Check the product description for current specs.
