Moving carbonated beverages using compressed air

[Aleksaah]

Hi,

This might not be the proper forum for this, but I will try anyway.

I want to move carbonated beverages like from its original bottle without the beverage going flat.

The thought here is having a cap with two holes in it, where one hole connects to a tank of compressed air (like a diving tank) that forces the liquid down in the soda bottle. The other hole, that is connected to a metal tube going to the bottom of the soda bottle and through a solnoid valve that control the timing of the flow to the glass.

The bottles that will be used is 1.5 liters coke bottles.

Will a typical paintball size bottle be deasent? It is 0,8 liters and have 200 bar preasure. Also, is compressed air a reasonable choise? And lastly, will this method flatten the soda if the flow is not to hard?

Best regards,
Aleksander Hansen

Use CO2 so it doesn't go flat. That tank should be plenty for a small project. Make sure you can regulate the flow and your containers can handle the PSI involved or your just going to make a big mess. Your containers should be air tight.
Hope this helps, have fun!

Use CO2 so you do not oxidize the beer to death...

Cheers!

Thank you for good answers! As you probably understand, this is a bit outside my domain. Is co2 in any way dangerous? I mean, is it possible to "over-carbonate" the soda so it becomes toxic if the preassure is always on?

Best regards

I over carb'd a beer once and the foam tasted like metal. They say it was carbonic acid. Dont know if its harmful. Tastes like crap though. You will only need a very little to move it 2psi should be plenty as long as its not going uphill too much. U can shut the system down when not in use for a few days if its pressurized.
