No, it goes on a soda bottle. I fill a 12oz bottle about 8oz, squeeze out the air, screw on the poppet lid, hit it with 30psi, shake and refrigerate. One I left over night, another I left about 3 hours. Both were carbonated enough to make head and give an idea of what it will be like finished. Its a great way to sample a beer in its intended state and really see if its ready or not.
