It cannot fix over-carbonated beer, but it can reduce the amount of beer line you would need to pour without excessive foaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the features include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew POK Injection-moulded Design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLike all new Duotight push in fittings that Kegland bring to market, all of them are manufactured with polyketone plastic (POK).
