Gelatin injector works great. Timing not that critical, should be injected into a chilled keg 34F, but I’ve done them at ambient and it worked fine. Bloom the gelatin for 5-10 minutes then hit it with microwave bursts until 165F. Injector was fabricated from a meat injector from the BBQ section at Lowes.

I use a gelatin rocket. I make my gelatin solution, I add it a 20oz PET soda bottle, add a carbonation cap, carb the bottle to about 6psi above what the keg is at, then use a jumper to shoot the gelatin into the gas post of the keg. See picture below:

I obviously don't normally have coke zero left in the bottle, make sure it's clean and sanitized before attempting . I also typically use one of my stainless steel carb caps from my fermzilla allrounder, so that's why I have a liquid ball lock on one end, but I'm pretty sure these red caps are gas only (at least it's always super dang hard to get a liquid ball lock on them) so if you have the plastic carb caps I recommend you use two gas quick disconnects.

One difference on mine is a piece of hose on the cap to the bottom of the bottle. And I use a smaller bottle (12 oz).
