The capsule is presented in the form of a small-sized ball made of PVC. Its diameter is approximately 2 centimeters. The capsule has a small (one) hole through which nitrogen enters the drink. It acts as a catalyst in the formation of foam.
Features of the capsule
In order to understand how a nitrogen ball works, you need to imagine the situation: the manufacturer brews a drink, pours it into cans or bottles. Next, a plastic ball is placed in the container.

When you open a can, the readings drop, nitrogen pushes the drink out of the balloon into the beer container. This allows you to create a beautiful and persistent foam.
