Hey everyone! Been lurking the forums for a while, first time posting.
I've just finished my first batch of cider and space is at a premium so I am unable to make use of a Keg setup. Instead I've been looking at carbonation caps used in conjunction with 2L PET bottles to carbonate the cider. I noted one cap in particular that allows for both gas and liquid hookups.
My question is: I found a video where the guy uses the cap on a PET bottle to clean his keg lines by charging the bottle and then the pressure pushes the cleaner into the lines. Would you be able to use this method, where it's cider being pushed out of a 2L PET bottle and then into a spigot/bottling device or something that you could use to transfer it to glass bottles? you'd probably need to recharge the 2L partway through with more CO2 but I feel like it should be able to act as a rudimentary keg? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Been really unable to find anything online talking about using the caps to dispense vs get filled so any insight with using them would be awesome!
