  • Really great video, thanks!

  • @GJaunz thanks

  • Thanks for the video. I tried this, and am using it to carbonate water. I use water from the fridge, so it's already cold. I remove the air from the headspace by squeezing the bottle with the cap a little loose, then tightening the cap. That way, when I add CO2, that's all that's in the headspace. Unfortunately, I'm not getting the degree of carbonation I want yet, even using 50psi and shaking for a few minutes.  Do you have any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?

  • @brsculthorpe I have found that the bottles need lots of head space. There needs to be surface area for the co2 to absorb. Do not fill up to the top like you would buy a commercial soda. Also get it near freezing. The colder the liquid the more co2 will absorb in solution.

    You can adapt a CO2 regulator to a paint ball tank with a PMI UFA Universal Fill Adapter that is sold on Amazon and many other places that sell paint ball equipment.

  • Thanks for the video! Nice production.

  • @absurdskinnyjackb1 I you figure how to to it; please post back. I'm sure that would be very useful to all of us. I like the small paint ball CO2 tanks. I would like to make a mini beer dispenser.

  • @mrdrysdale64 thanks

    

  • @absurdskinnyjackb1 I'm not sure. I do not know what fitting are on a paint ball tank. Im betting the guys at the shop you buy CO2 for your guns would know how to adapt it.

  • can u make a adapter to fit a paintball co2 tank
