How to Carbonate Water

is your question with reference to pre-mix or post-mix carbonation?

Hi, thanks for the reply. Predominatly premix for micro bottling, but the process of blending the syryps with the soda water for post mix are also very inefficient. I'm looking at a smaller bottling system that will produce +/- 2000l a day. Have you any ideas an making the process more stable and efficient?

Many Thanks

CO2 is more soluble in cold water

It's just an idea, but with the ever growing trend towards 'Natural' ingredients and 'Old Style' recipes, have you ever thought about naturally fermented soft drinks?

Natural fermentation makes so much CO2 you might be able to plumb the gas to fizz up your regular product? 2000 litres/day would not require too much expensive equipment. What is Gnome Soda? I have just been surfing the net, and my mouth is starting to water. I know nudda, and am no expert, but did they ever use Oak Barrels to ferment ginger and root beers back in 'those thar olden days'? 30 US Gallons is 113 litres. I wonder what pressure they could stand?

2 liter.
Water.
Dry Ice.
Cap.

It's fast, cheap, and easy.

Leave off the 'cap' and have a 'Spooky' Halloween Party, Dress Up in a Dracula Outfit and lay in a Coffin. have the creepy mist float about the floor. Make cocktails in Glass Pyrex Beakers.....in weird colours....foaming and steaming.....Dr. Jeckle-n-Hyde fashion. Cool!

you put ten gallons of sprite in a bucket. you insert 3 lemons. Then let it set for 2-3 days. And Voila!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mixs 500 mL vinegar and 500 mL Baking Soda and seltzer and you get fissy water

That doesn't work at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u b mean

Wow that worked i did 4 lemons instead of 3. That tastes excellent. You are the willy wonka of sodas. wonk on!!!!

you should just use 5 gallons like the next person

Szu-Raj Sucks. He has no life

I can't believe that actually worked. But you can just use 5 gallons instead of 10. Were u trying to trick me into wasting soda?!? But thanks anyway

You are all very funny. How about a Selzer Bottle and a Co2 Cartridge....
