Thanks; am going to try to use a longer line; however the first time i used a long line, there were a lot of 'open areas' in the line that seemed to be filled with co2; I noticed that i could not get the water to stay relatively constant in the line (i.e. prevent pockets of co2 from developing)...

I could defintely try a longer hose. Will do that. Kind of amazes me that this bottling part seems to be so hard though....

I have several carbonation caps, however I want to move away from plastic so therefore this would not be a real solution for me; you need to attach the carbonation cap to a PET bottle.

Hi NeoBrew, Yooper, IslandWizard, Ba-Brewer and of course all others, I promised to get back on how the process of bottling from the keg went. Today was the big day. I tried to take into account all the suggestions in the thread and I let the carbonated water settle in the keg for a week at...

Hi Ba-brewer, Thanks! I actually went to my supply store yesterday and got a stopper in reaction to your suggestion to try this method. Am gonna combine this method with lowering the pressure and purging the keg (in line with NeoBrew's suggestion) and see how it works and will definitely let...

Hi IslandLizard, I really appreciate your help and that you are trying to think with me. The strange thing is, that even with such a long line, the water comes out too fast. So if anything, I would think that the line would need to be even longer; shorter would cause water to come out with...

Hi NeoBrew, This is really helpful! I am going to employ this technique. I am really curious if this will do the trick; I have searched so much for finding a solution and this could finally be it. Thank you and all the others for their help so far; will let u know how it went:-)

Hi! Thanks for the thread suggestion. I have read this a while ago and wonder if this would be helpful for soda though. However I could definitely try it.

Hi NeoBrew, Havent actually considered lowering the pressure and purging the keg; could be interesting! However, I am worried that employing low pressure and bleeding the keg, by definition will cause the carbonation of the water in the keg to drop. Is this a wrong assumption? Thats why I...

I also think its strange; I would have expected that the line and cold temperature would have made bottling easier. Don't quite understand what I am doing wrong.... As for the bottling at soda plants; I found it difficult to find any useful information on that on the internet. Soda plants...

Hi Yooper, Ur right, I don't expect to lose any carbonation at all, however I am losing too much I feel. I tried a very long line (cooled the line too) and it didnt work. A good suggestion about keeping the bottles cold and having a helper; ill keep that in mind and will apply that once I...

Hi guys, I am trying to make sparkling water at 45-60 psi with a keg. However, I am running into difficulties with the bottling part; the water comes out of my picnic tap in burst which causes the carbonation to drop significantly and the water to come out too flat. Does anyone have an idea...

My regulator can take a bit more pressure, aswell as my overpressure relief valves, so I reckon I am good as far as that aspect. Bit its a good thing to keep in mind, thnx! As for the temperature, I think I can do a bit better on that, I am going to try to keep it extra cold in my next test...

Thnx! I just ordered some more hoselength recently (75 feet!) to see how it will come out, am really curious; cant wait for the parts to come in by mail:)

Okay, I could try that. Any idea of how long the line should be?
