How We Carbonate Our Soda Water - Glen And Friends Cooking - Carbonating Water
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2024
- Since we started the Soda Pop series, a lot of people have been asking how we carbonate our soda water. Do we use a Soda Stream? (not anymore) Or do we have a different set of equipment? We've been using Corny kegs from our homebrew beer setup.
Here are some places where you can buy similar equipment:

Do the Original Fanta Please!!
Thank you for this valuable info! I remember the black rimmed keg from when I changed them in the coke machine at our restaurant back yrs ago. I'm getting one of those pin-locked kegs... Never knew what they're called, differences or where to get them. this is GREAT!! And that carbonator!!!! Yes! Thank you!!!!
Where do you get the co2 tank refilled, and can't you refill the soda stream yourself from that tank?
@@peterhansen6673 You could fill the soda stream at home - but for me it wasn't worth the expense time and hassle. For us, this way works because we brew, and have the space.
Hi Glen, I would like to know in regards to maintenance, do you have to clean the lines for the corny keg, even though it's just water? What kind of solution you use, if you clean the lines? Thanks.
I love how “turn on all the lights... we’re filming!” Includes the oven light!
Always thought this was your actual kitchen, I always admired it!
And they made you deputy bravo...
Something about your videos seem natural, not rehearsed or reading from a script or forced.
That right there is a performance art in itself. I'm fairly new here but this is some great stuff, thank you.
Everyone making videos now just makes millions of edits, to take out any millisecond they don't like...so much so that it's become a desired visual effect... soon the young generation will think there is something wrong with more than five seconds of still- shot. It does pleasantly enable the person to be pretty free and natural.
@@dontsettlefor500mill we were doing that in 2006 and 2007 too. It’s only a “desirable aesthetic” for certain types of content, and people certainly don’t do it for more artsy things at all.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels, Much love from the UK, Keep it up!
Oh this is what I LUUUUUV about your channel!! Thank you! The history, the science, the culture - it just gets better! Thank you, again!!
It's amazing the amount of projects you have going on all of the time. I imagine you have to be crazy organized with your video files.
Clearly we need a video on how you modified your freezer. "Hey honey, do you mind if I make room in the freezer for something? I just want to make room for a few drinks....."
The modification is fairly simple, you buy a Johnson Controls Digital Thermostat control unit and you plug that into the wall, set the probe in the freezer and plug the freezer into the outlet attached to the controller. Set the controller to the temp that you would like and the controller will kick power on and off to the freezer keeping it at the right temp. There is a higher risk of reducing the useful life of the freezer due to the cycling on and off more rapidly. Also, condensation can be a huge issue and humidity control needs to be addressed. I use unscented damprid to help keep that manageable.
I wired my own from an STC-1000, It has a setting to prevent frequent cycling. Though in actual use the cycling isn't very frequent when the lid is closed. If you search for DIY kegerator there are some great examples.
@@ytdf1972 that probably is one of the cheapest ways. I prefer even more DIY and used an Std homo Nano
By the look of the wall behind the freezer, I think he built a whole kitchen studio for this cooking show.

Thank you. I am a Canadian living in Thailand, and investigating how to make soda pop at my cafe. Your video has helped me. So that is good! Cheers!
Can you guys do a version of root beer sometime?
Working on recipes right now.
A massive "+1" to that
yea I'm really into that too.. but can we do one with natural carbonation? like maybe an alcoholic version and a non alcoholic version..
@@NarschoolVlog We'll do both - they start the same way and diverge only at the end.
Haha! I'd love to see his version of the "Not Your Father's Rootbeer"!
I love the pop series. Y'all ought to bring em back!
I'm a homebrewer that was looking into making soda water so THANK YOU for making these videos! I'll check out the rest of the playlist and go from there. Oh and as a US scientist I'd just like to point out that I'm jealous of the use of the metric system so nonchalantly : D Cheers and thanks again !
Just found you while looking for Cola recipes. You are funny, informative and will be binge-watching you during this crazy Covid Times! Thank you!
So happy everytime you post❤️❤️🇨🇦💕
Amazing!!! My wife & I did the math on how much Club Soda we were buying before we got the Soda Stream and we are saving about 100$ a year with the Soda Stream. We just love bubbly water! But now with the information from the video I have to do some math again & I have a feeling we will be investing in a bar fridge and that setup. Thank you so much for posting this & all of your wonderful videos!
@rowanfortier535 I was spending a lot on the SodaStream tanks which only lasted 2-3 weeks for the family, granted we're seltzerholics, . We ended up investing in a WaterGenie and now we spend $50/ year in total!
This video is almost exactly what I was looking for, thanks Glen for explain things and using proper names, I was easily able to find all of the components to recreate your setup. I also used some tech wizardry of my own, using some Thermoelectric Cooler Plates, I pretty much made a mini-fridge around my keg (disclaimer I am an electronics engineer anyone who wishes to recreate it, should have extensive knowledge or seek professional help), and with my 3D printer I printed out a nice custom case for it. Might even make a youtube video about it someday.
Thank you Glen! As always, very informative video!
Found your channel yesterday. Very interesting videos. Glad i found it ^^
This just randomly showed up in my suggestions and I really liked it. I've got a system like this already but how did youtube know??!
You've got a great balance of being affable while still not stalling on information. That's a great thing.
UA-cam Recommendation Algorithm .... is telepathic ... lol
Thank you Glen, I have just been using the standard soda stream, and have about 8 gas bottles, I refill them using dry ice pellets and that works ok, but have been looking to upsize the system, cheers for that information, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
This is such an amazing help. Finally found the info i was looking for!!
I always wondered what you used. Enjoyed this video!
Even though I own & use multiple soda makers I ordered me a set just like yours, thanks 😘🥂
Two ways I've carbonated homemade sodas are #1: the old fashioned way, using yeast fermentation over a period of days. This does create a tiny bit of alcohol (not necessarily a bad thing 😏). #2: forced carbonation, by stirring chunks of dry ice through it until it's dissolved. This not only carbonates it, but also chills it nicely.
Where do you get dry ice from
Hey, I want to try the first method you suggested but I read that CO2 made this way will have the taste of yeast. How do you deal with this issue? Also, how do you generate enough CO2 to fill a pressurized tank? Do you need a pump, or cooling equipment, or vacuum pump, or something else? I would appreciate it if you could refer me to a resource detailing how to store CO2 created from fermentation. Thank you!
Cool rig! Great for huge volume projects! I like a soda siphon for small batches! Cheers! 👍
I love how nerdy this channel is!
Great video. We use the co2 tank and coney keg tap but just use 2 liter bottles with a ball lock cap. Works great.
Thanks for the video, even though this is not what I was looking for.
Very informative, nice job.
thank you so much glen this is really helpful
super helpful! Thanks so much
Supper good information about soda make idea
To make Carbonated water and fizzy drinks here at home I use an original 1880 Seltzogene (gazogène).
It has two chambers one containing the water/juice etc
The other holding Tartaric Acid powder and baking powder/soda.
You tip the Gazogène over slightly on its side this allows some water into the top gas globe closing the a chemical reaction making co2.
You then put it back level.
Non of the baking soda and tartaric get into the drink part as they are separated in different chambers.
After a few hours (I often leave it over night) you are left with a well carbonated drink :)
You then spray it out like a normal soda syphon.
Because it only uses Tartaric Acid and Baking soda it is a lot cheaper to use than bottled gas ones.
It's very economical :)
Informative video. Fun to learn that Cornelius in Anoka (a town I live near) is the world's largest beverage dispensing manufacturer in the world!
Just the video I wanted, thanks!
Lol I wish this had come out like 5 days ago... my wife and I bought a SodaStream specifically because your Orange Ade drink turned out so good, we wanted to try it carbonated. Either way, thanks for all the great information!
You should try the grapefruit one 👌🏽
Thanks! Couldn’t find this anywhere needed help and this is perfect thank you so much
Thank You!
Great video
Great video!
Thanks Glen that is interesting.
Excellent video, I had to sub, you have a fantastic channel.✌️
If you don't have the room for a keg you can get a Carbacap from a brew shop or Amazon that screw on 1 or 2 liter PET soda bottles. You will need a ball lock coupling to connect to the cap. These bottles are rated to 50 PSI so you can carbonate at 30 PSI and they fit nicely in your refrigerator.
CrossingTheEcliptic thx. commenting so i can find this later
I use them if I want to make 60 PSI aggressively sparkling water and have never had a problem. PET soda bottles are generally made to withhold 150 PSI and are perfectly safe for high carbonation as long as they are not damaged or warped.
Whatever pressure the bottle is rated at, the standard is to test at twice the rating
@@GWL420 Hi Riel, I am new to this and anxious. What PSI do you use on the tank to make 60PSI soda and how long does it take? Thanks
@@verycd If you have a regulator on the tank you can just turn it to the desired PSI and shake until bubbles stop filling the bottle. This only takes a minute for a pop bottle, and 5-10 minutes for a 20L keg. It is interesting to try various carbonation levels, but for most people 60psi was too strong, almost painful on the tongue.
I have been a silent fan of your vids until you showed those Corny Kegs. I too worked in a theater during the mid eighties and instant recognized the keg on the left. Just seeing that keg brought a flood of memories of changing kegs during rushes, the smell of popcorn in my clothes from an eight hour shift of popping through a 50 lb sack, 2 lbs at a time, and announcing shows ready to seat. In my last year (General Cinema Corp), we transitioned to bag-in-a-box, which had the major downside of having what appeared to be two plastic caps. Remove the first and the bag is unsealed, remove the second (which was the connector spout) and the entire bag of syrup would drain out in about 5 seconds because it was at the bottom of the bag. Thanks for the memory blast!
Yeah we switched to bag in a box sometime in the late'80's. It was never the same after that.
I really liked the notation abiut the date squares 😂
Nice technical info. I love really sharp soda water but I live in a tiny aparment. I will enjoy through my eyes (?)
One really good option if you have limited space is to get the system Glen has minus the keg. You can get a cap that converts from the ball lock to a PET pop bottle. This allows you store the carbonation system in a cupboard and only the bottles of sparkling water in the fridge.
oh! wow! wait until I share this with my husband!
Thank you for this video ! LOVE U
I'd like to watch you do a home brewing video. I'm a (very) amateur home brewer and I'd like to hear your tips and tricks!
When I was a teen in the sixties, Dad bought a sparklets (?) soda water bottle. It had CO2 capsules and a holder that you screwed on till you heard gas going into the water. You then shook the bottle till you didn't hear any more gas, then turned it on some more, shook moore, etc.
Great info
I love this chanel
Thank you 😊👍🏼
I use Drinkmate over Sodastream. The Drinkmate setups are engineered with a slow-release valve to deal with foaming which allows you to carbonate anything not just water. Think carbonated wines, bloody Marys, etc... I feed the carbonator directly (and also refill friend's 14 oz CO2 bottles for cheap) from a 20 lb cylinder of CO2 which lives in my basement. Definately check out Drinkmate's unit!
How much would it last if i bottled it and sale it? Greetings honduras from
Thanks for the vid
Fun fact: you can refill soda stream tanks with food grade dry ice that you can find at your local supermarket. Just note the max volume of the tank and measure out slightly less dry ice. Let the dry Ice melt (sublimate?) overnight and you've got yourself a ready-to-use soda stream refill! I used to fill up 2 tanks (one of them a repurposed paintball gun tank) for a couple of bucks.
Very cool. How do you get the co2 into the soda stream tank? I really want to try this.
That's cool and all but I second the other guy. How do you get the gas into the tank?
Feel like citric acid and baking soda is the best overall method. Easy to store and no tanks needed if you get the Sparkle system. Cheap in bulk.
I do hear the bubbles aren't as big though? How noticeable it is between a regular soda stream versus others I don't know. I don't know if it is even different between the different c02 machines like those who make their own. Just found it odd one user mentioned it.
@bionicmeech , I'd love to learn more about how to refill a tank with dry ice. Does this require opening the tank?
Wow, i wish we have this kind of stuff in indonesia, but unfortunately kinda hard to find this stuff, love your work man 👍
You can also refill the sodastream containers yourself with an adapter, using a larger co2-tank with a dip, so it only costs you refilling the larger co2-tank
I have a similar setup... only I have a quick connect cap that will screw on to any 2L bottle. (uses the same female connector you are using)
You fill the bottle with water, chill it in the fridge/freezer, connect it and shake it up for about 1 min. The closer to freezing the water is, and the longer you shake, the more carbonation you get, with only a few minutes work and extra fridge/freezer space needed.
i so gotta see if we can get that setup here in Oz...bonza idea!
I don't think I'll part with my sodastream yet, but this is... Tempting, Capital T.
Thanks for posting this,very info videos. My question is ,is it matters how much water or other drinks filled in the keg before CO2 in?
Thanks for the video. I have a soda stream but it's $15 per CO2 refill, and it go through carbonated water quite a bit (mostly without additives). I just think the Soda Stream is too expensive and agree it doesn't hit the carbonation levels I'm looking for. Nice to get some insight on a more hefty solution... I'll have to check local pricing now.
Yes, it's expensive ... I refill a 20 litre/5 US gallon CO2 tank for ~10$ Canadian
For just a little more you could just buy an ambient carbonator. The same level of carbonation can be reached you would just have to set the pressure higher. I work for one of the major brands, ambient carbs are set to 105psi, and cold carbs that have the tank incorporated into the cold plate of a fountain are set to 75 psi.
Care to give some links?
Kegland in Australia has a modified lid with a float valve. You just plumb in a line from your main, and it replaces the water as you remove it and carbonates in the same step. Not sure who would distribute in Canada, but More Beer here in the states carries their products.
I use a Soda Stream with a 5lb CO2 tank connected and can get very strong carbonation. You can get the adapter kit on Amazon for about $40 US. Just another option that makes the soda stream less expensive.
Nice
Hi Glen! I wanted to thank you for posting this. I came across it after I had already come to a conclusion on my own and my purchases will set me up almost identical to you.
I did have a question about the one difference in my system, and that is a replacement for the Cornelius Keg's lid that includes another ball-lock fitting and a hose to an air stone. Have you used these before for forcing fast carbonation? I figured that greater dispersal of the gas would speed things up considerably. I'll probably be filling the keg with ice water because I dont have a fridge for storage, so I'll need to carb it fast while the liquid is still cold, and then I'll store and dispense at room temperature. Am I overlooking anything obvious?
Finally, I loved your take on ginger beer, but was wondering if you'd do your take on a ginger soda/ale recipe (a la Vernor's and Schweppes). Ginger soda is my guilty pleasure, with Ginger/Orange being my favorite variant.
Thanks again!
Hey Glen, I would be interested in a video of the studio kitchen. Maybe some info as to why you chose a studio kitchen set up for your videos, the price on your kitchen and a tour.
Nice carbonator setup! Is your can equipped with the dispersion stone on the end of the input dip tube of the tank? If not I think there is a distributor in the USA that might still sell them. They do a better job at getting the Co2 into the water. As for the Soda Stream equipment, there are some aftermarket suppliers of bulk tank adapters one can buy and eliminate the high cost of those expensive mini tanks. There is even a replacement valve you can buy that replaces the "factory" valve that will allow one to refill their own tanks. You can even buy an adapter that allows you to use a "paintball marker" tank ( that's easily refillable at gas houses) and eliminate costly factory tanks as well. As for DIY refilling of tanks, don't unless you know what you are doing otherwise you run the risk of rupturing the tank and causing oneself physical harm or even death. Having worked in Food and Beverage over the years I have purchased my own carbonator equipment used at a fraction of the cost of new. Even converted it to operate on 220 v so I can continue using it here in the EU now. Time for some carbonated Depression era Orange aid!
At 6:35 you mention your "Brewing Channel and I'll link that..." no visible link for me and not in your link list below. So....how 'bout that link???
Love your recipes and the low key approach to it all, great stuff!!!
Great vid thankyou, if I wanted to bottle soda water from the keg do I just fill using the picnic tap and cap bottles? Would I loose carbonation doing this?
Rounding all values up to the next highest whole number value at current (2019-05-10) exchange rates:
300 CAD = 224 USD = 172 GBP = 199 EUR = 320 AUD = 339 NZD = 24513 JPY = 1754 HKD = 4271 MXN = 885 BRL
Which honestly, if someone is in the USA is able to find this stuff for that price, it sounds like a bargain to me. I was expecting a little more than double the price.
Also I love seeing more of the set, would enjoy a behind the scenes tour video showing off the set from your point of view when you are presenting stuff to us.
Hi Glenn about 5 years ago I worked at a restaurant as a supper club manager. I had the ideal job I work days and I started to shift and I also worked in the kitchen and did the books and a whole bunch of other things. I got familiar with the carbonation system and the bag in the box system by Pepsi. Some reason everybody in Wisconsin likes Pepsi over Coke. In addition to servicing the bar and bringing up the stock for the oncoming shift it was my job to switch over the bag in the box system which is no big deal and to do the tanks of the carbonated CO2. I relocated out in Colorado. I went from 745 feet above sea level The 4445, ft above sea level and I thought nothing about it and I had made myself my own carbonation system by watching UA-cam videos and did my carbonation for my own soft drinks at home. I used to use the Sodastream products but for some reason the main supplier Walmart discontinued all of the Sodastream equipment and products here in the United States. so I started tinkering trying to make my own Cola recipe not having any clue as to how it was made. I even bought several bags of Diet Pepsi from the local distributor through the restaurant so there actually were delivered with the other supplies. The five gallon bag in a box would last me approximately a year and a half. And I'm still on my first tank of carbonated gas. I used to take it to a fire extinguisher refill station and the guys there for three or four dollars would fill the four pound tank. I haven't had a needed five years to have the tank refilled in Colorado. I did have something that was quite unsettling happened to me though when I first moved here. First of all the rule is you never never never never ever never use glass bottels. I use plastic liter soda bottles. The first time I put the water in that way and filled it and then carbonated the plastic bottle blew up on the kitchen counter. with my ears ringing I did a quick survey all fingers still attached some deep scratches though with a little blood here and there. Thank God both eyes were working. but I was still thirsty and I took the second bottle and I reduced the pressure down because I like you I like the sharp bite of the carbonation pounds per square inch. this time I put the bottle on the floor behind the portable dishwasher in the corner and barricaded it in between the cabinet doors and the dishwasher. I leaned over the dishwasher attach to cap and brought the tank out to where I can control it. I saw the plastic bottle starting to expand and get around it around bottom edges and I shut the system down. now that day that I was doing this on the second try it was 106 degrees outside. And I am not sure if the bottle exploded again from the temperature difference. But this time I had success the sharpness was there. From watching videos I had seen other people testing how much the plastic bottles could take by the way of pressure of CO2 when being filled for carbonation. It came out to 312 pounds per square inch and then the plaxtic bottles exploded. These guys were not even wearing gloves, glasses or protective clothing which I think was unwise on their part. But yes I did the same thing but not intentionally.
I had reported on the site where you actually made the cola that I had tried to obta Niroli oil from Canada. it was confiscated by US Customs when it got to the Border. I did respond to their letters and other inquiry as to what I was going to use it for and they still denied me having access to it as a hazardous caustic restricted under Homeland Security guidelines. I found a con company in Idaho and I got a whopping 10 mL for $ $17.50.
I am wondering if Julie and you ever added the Kola nut extract to the beverage? How did it taste? Is it worth going after and trying to Source it? When I get all of the ingredients I'm going to make your recipe according to your specifications. It's probably going to take me awhile to get there. But the second batch that I am going to make is going to be using an artificial sweetener I'm thinking of using Stevia as it is a one-for-one exchange with sugar. any thoughts on making an artificialy sweetened Cola? Currently I am buying a product called Shasta Cola which is regular sugar sweetened, Thicker plastic bottles.
Hello from the dystopian future, 2024! What a great post, surprised no one commented!
Hello..great video... my question is if I bought the smaller two and a half gallon tank for seltzer water how long would that last? I do drink it on a daily basis. Or is it best to go for the 5 gallon? Reason I'm asking will it go flat if I don't use the five gallon right away? But I don't want to have to make the repetitive procedure on a daily basis. Thank you so much again the video helps a lot
I have always felt rockets are great you cannot change my mind on that.
The video was great...thank you! I am trying to make carbonated soda in a keg. How do I flavor the force carbonated keg? I've tried Torani & Monin syrups...but it just doesn't taste right. Is there a "special carbonation flavoring"?? Thanks in advance!
Here in Sweden a new Sodastream bottle cost $20 and refills $2-4 max.
But on the other hand I'm also a homebrewer so I got the bigger kegs and Co2 bottles as well, but it isn't cheaper sadly.
You can make a really carbonated drink with sodastream, you don't have to stick with their recommendations, just carbonate it to your taste. I love mine and it's more than enough to home use.
I've got SodaStream and I bought an adapter tube so I was able to replace the tank with a standard 15 lb tank.
If you're even cheaper and don't want a sodastream, does mixing it with flavorless seltzer water work fine?
Do we fill the keg completely before attaching the c02 if not what level do you recommend to fill the keg. Thank you very much
Thank you ritchard dokinz
Great Video! I just picked up 2 Corny 3 gallon kegs that was used form the 7up Beverage company. There built great but I have a problem putting the ball locks on them. Do you think I have to change the O-rings and use some keg lube to fix this problem.
Also when you setuo your keg for 30 psi do you leave at that for serving the beverage also of do you turn it down? After you set your keg with water do you just leave in the Fridge to force carbonate or do you shake up the keg?
Have you tried tp carbonate pink lemonade frozen concentrated on lemonade? I would to have keg for Seltzer and the other for the kids.
Thank you
Paul
Winnipeg
Do you need a backflow preventor with this setup?
Clearly we need a studio(s) tour.
Show us (me) more.
And where is the poutine curds episode!?
There is a company in Australia that enables you to plumb in water to your keg which allows you to have co2 water on tap
Can you explain how you modified your chest freezer to not freeze your water? Thanks!
@Glen & Friends Cooking Can I ask why you have not added a wood collar to your keezer to allow for drilling holes for taps? I modified a freezer into a keezer two years ago and I added a 2x4 collar around the opening by removing the lid, caulking the collar in place and re-attaching the lid by screwing it into the wood. I made everything look nice with some oak boards and topped it off with a chalk board. I have room for 4 kegs, but at this time I have only drilled two holes.
I found your channel a few weeks ago and I have binge watched as many episodes as I can. Great stuff.
I've just never gotten around to it.
The containers are traditionally called a figal, after their capacity, 5 gallons, and usually held syrup. The carbonation is usually done with a carbonator (water pump and co2 infuser), and a chill plate or cold plate that's kept in an ice bath or refrigerator.. Bag in box syrup systems have replaced most figal containers, but there are some places still using them. McDonald's actually has bulk syrup tanks for Coca-Cola, with 150 gallons being considered a small tank. Yes, they sell THAT MUCH Coke... and most stores have multiple tanks. Std coke ratio is 4.75:1 or 5.25:1 for sugar and non sugar syrups, respectively, and Pepsi is 5:1, with a couple of exceptions.
OK Living near Toronto, where do get your supplies and go.... just curious if you buy from certain supplies.... etc loving your channel. I also love challenges. haha I saw your end comment as type this. I'm here because I want to replace my soda stream and keep it for uh glam camping, thank you. Came here months ago for ginger beer and thank you... ignore my question at the beginning. My current challenge is making the perfect naan bread, one that freezes well and dough can be pan baked, on the grill, and oven baked, using one now that is ok for frozen and is more pizza like. Now my favourite is from Etobicoke from some small restaurant Taste of Delhi.... when I worked near there. Still need to make your Ginger beer.... but also need to make A Mole Sauce from scratch Have ALL THE INGREDIENTS FROM Kensington Market, I THINK... KEEP IT UP.
wholesome dude
I have a similar setup, but a little cheaper and easier. Instead of having a keg for the water, I have a fitting that screws on to a 2L bottle that the quick connect attaches to. Put chilled water in the bottle, fill it to 40-50psi, shake for about a minute. You end up with the most carbonated water you could ever think of drinking.
Anybody looking to buy used corney kegs should shop around. My local brew shop will occasionally sell used 5 gallon ball lock (Pepsi) kegs for as little as $25 US. That includes a new gasket set. There's usually still a bunch of nasty old syrup residue stuck in the bottom that you have to clean. They tend to have plenty of scuff marks, spray paint, etc., on the outside. They're not pretty, but they're tested to hold pressure. So you can find some decent kegs pretty cheap if you're patient and willing to shop around.
Here's a couple of videos from our beer brewing channel about used kegs, for those who are interested:

ua-cam.com/video/jIEnlPapGK4/v-deo.html
Hey Glenn, could you possibly do a studio tour?
Hey Glen, love your channel and want to ask a question. I have bought a system like this based on your recommendations. But the carbonation seems to leave the liquid almost immediately after leaving the tap. I did pick up on your video that it can take 48 hours to fully carbonate. My question is- for that 48 hours are you leaving the Keg hooked up to the tank with pressure on. Or is it just as effective to unhook the keg from the bottle and put the keg in the fridge. It was already pushing it to steal fridge space for the Keg. My wife won't love it if I need space for the keg and the tank?
I actually have a chest freezer nodded the same way. How do you stop the condensation from pooling like crazy?
How long can the tubing to the picnic tap be? If I set this rigging up in the basement and then ran a tube up to a spigot on the second floor, would that work?
Where do u refill the tanks? for food grade co2?
What's the outflow way from the keg? I'm just new to anything keg related.
Have you done a video or know how to make a lacroix type water?
