Claim 17:
18. A method for producing carbonated beverages within a glass beverage bottle via a fermentation process initiated upon introduction of yeast and sugar into the glass beverage bottle with a base beverage and sealed into the glass beverage bottle via a removable apparatus, wherein the method comprises:
injecting the base beverage into the glass beverage bottle;
injecting the yeast and the sugar into the glass beverage bottle;
attaching the removable apparatus to the glass beverage bottle to seal in any pressure generated by the fermentation process into the glass beverage bottle;
wherein the attaching includes at least a plurality of operations including:
positioning a neck collar of the removable apparatus upon a neck section of the glass beverage bottle;
positioning a sealing cap of the removable apparatus atop a mouth opening of the glass beverage bottle above the neck collar;
attaching the sealing cap to the neck collar;
tightening the sealing cap against the mouth opening of the glass beverage bottle via a tensioner and inducing a clamping force between the neck collar of the removable apparatus positioned upon the neck section of the glass beverage bottle and the sealing cap of the removable apparatus positioned atop the mouth opening of the glass beverage bottle to seal the pressure generated from the fermentation operation into the glass beverage bottle;
wherein the tightening of the sealing cap against the mouth opening of the glass beverage bottle comprises turning a tensioner bolt positioned through the sealing cap and threaded into a threaded orifice of the neck collar to thread the tensioner bolt further into the threaded orifice of the neck collar and retracting the sealing cap of toward the neck collar of the removable apparatus and against the mouth opening of the glass beverage bottle;
measuring the pressure internal to the glass beverage bottle via a pressure indicator coupled with the removable apparatus and displaying the measured pressure via the pressure indicator;
retaining the pressure internal to the glass beverage bottle via a Pressure Reduction Valve (PRV) coupled with the removable apparatus configured to limit the pressure inside of the glass beverage bottle to a pre-determined maximum pressure limit; and
evacuating sediment from the neck section of the glass beverage bottle when the glass beverage bottle is in an inverted position by opening of a ball valve coupled with the removal apparatus without requiring freezing of the neck section of the glass beverage bottle.
