"The Carbonator" by liquid bread
« on: August 22, 2011, 04:57:33 PM »
Just received "the carbonator" in an order I placed a while ago.  I must say, I'm pretty impressed...save for the price (almost 20).  

Its a heavy duty bottle cap with a ball lock valve on the end of it.  I thought I'd use it to make wine spritzers for the girlfriend (really to force carbonate leftover beer after kegging).  

I mixed up in a 1 L PET bottle half red wine, some grape juice, orage juice and a squeeze of lime.  I expelled all the air by squeezing the bottle and screwed on "the carbonator".  I hit it with CO2, shook it up real good, hit it again, then stuck it in the fridge.

The downside.....I can only carbonate 1 bottle at a time...

Yeah, been using one for a while.  They work like a hot damn.
Nice to see you've developed your own PR with it!
There is a wiki somewhere on how to build one yourself with a tire air stem, and a plastic cap, for a bundle less... but then you need to get co2 in via a normal tire inflater connector, not the grey connection.
