Abstract

See full text

A receptacle for storing, pressurizing, and dispensing packaged beverages. An airtight chamber with a removable lid, wherein the joint between the lid and the chamber is also airtight. A gas valve allows for the inflow and outflow of gas, and a tap port and tap stem allow the beverage to be dispensed without breaking the seal of the chamber. A pressure relief valve allows for more rapid depressurization. Chamber can also be used at high and low pressures, such as a partial vacuum, to prevent oxidation of a number of open beverages, such as beers, wines, and sodas. Can be used with multiple types of gas, and is coupleable with both American and European tap systems. A pressure gauge port allows a user to verify the appropriate pressure for the type of beverage being preserved. Lid may have multiple taps to allow for the storage of multiple beverages.
