Home Carbonation!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Since Sodastreams are a complete rip-off, I decided to make my own home carbonation kit. Got the parts from Canadian Tire and Princess Auto, and the tank used (that's why I was looking for a used co2 tank).... all told <$50!


All put together:

I've built pretty much the same rig, works well. Use it to carbonate my home brew as well as for bubbly water. Need to be careful though, any high pressure tank can be dangerous if you get careless. Eventually I hope to put together a 'kegerator' for the beer, bottling is a pain. 'Cornelius' kegs are hard to source around these parts though.

People like me Ryan. I'm not going to divulge how quickly I rip through cases of diet pepsi. I'll just say "quickly".

Ugghh... I can't even get through i case of diet pepsi without getting sick of it. I get that with most "Diet" pop though. Not sure how you drink so much of it Brett.

P.S. You lose your trainers? :twised:

lots when our house is used as the main party house lol and with 4 people living here full time seems to be a party at least every few nights.

Wow I thought my 2 cans per day were a lot of coke.

ok.. but does it work good?

I know when I used to word at wine kitz we would cirulate the filtered beer through a line with a bubbler and back into the canister with the CO2 set at 10PSI for an hour.
