Device for Rapid Carbonization of Beverages
Summary:
Carbonation is the process of dissolving carbon dioxide into beverages like beer, sparkling wine, and seltzer water. This is traditionally accomplished by exposing the uncarbonated beverage to an atmosphere of carbon dioxide in the head space of a vessel containing the beverage or bubbling carbon dioxide into the liquid through a porous “carbonation...
