ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for fermenting and carbonating beverages comprises a container for holding a quantity of beverage to be treated. A cap for closing the container has a cup attached to the top thereof and a valve therein for permitting access between the inside of the container and the cup. A first tubular chamber is attached to the inside of the cap by means of a depending circular flange. The first chamber with a valve in one end contains a charge of carbonating material which treats the beverage as it enters the container through an aperture therein. A second tubular chamber is attached to the inside of the cap by means of an outer depending concentric circular flange. The second chamber where fermenting occurs has a plurality of apertures therein for permitting free flow of the beverage therethrough and a micro-fine filter therein for trapping sediment during the fermenting and carbonating process. A user may determine if fermentation and carbonation is occuring by placing a small quantity of water in the cup and by opening the valve whereby gas will enter the water in the cup causing bubbling therein thus indicating that the fermenting and carbonating process is progressing properly. The cap may be used without the chambers when it is desired to treat fruits and vegetables.
