1-20. (canceled)
A liquid gasification system comprising:
- a container defining an open section at a top end of said container and a closed section at a bottom end of said container, wherein said container is at least partially filled with a liquid and wherein said top end is positioned above said bottom end of said container when said container is in an upright position;
- a removable seal enclosing the open section of the container;
- a gas delivery system comprising:
- a storage vessel storing a gas therein;
- and
- an output portion connected to said storage vessel to deliver the gas from the storage vessel to an interior of the container;
- wherein said output portion penetrates said seal with said container in the upright position before delivering the gas and wherein said output portion is adapted to be removed from said seal after delivering the gas;
- and
- wherein, after removal of said output portion of said gas delivery system from said seal, said seal remains positioned to enclose the open section of said container.
A kit for gasifying a liquid contained in a resealable container, the container defining an open section at a top end of said container and a closed section at a bottom end of said container wherein the top end is above the bottom end when the container is in an upright position, comprising:
- a cap defining an opening disposed in a top surface of said cap, said cap further defining threading within the interior of said cap;
- a seal configured to fit within said cap, said seal fitting into said cap in a position adjacent the opening and spaced apart from said threading;
- and a gas delivery system comprising an output portion that extends through the opening in the cap with the container in the upright position to penetrate said seal before delivering a gas to the container, said output portion further being removable from said seal after delivering the gas while maintaining the container in an upright position;
- wherein said seal remains positioned to enclose the container after removal of said output portion of said gas delivery system from said seal.
