    filling glass bottles with force carbed soda

    I've collected a fair share of small 473ml of Orangina glass bottles which I would like to carbonate with water so that I can store them in the fridge and then take them to work instead of taking a 2 litre jug. I know the orangina bottles are thick and strong, but I also know the drink itself...

    Coke/Pepsi bag in box sources?

    In this picture you can see that I just punctured the box to grab the tip of the bag so I can work on it And here you can see it's got holes well before it had a white plate underneath the holes so I poked it with a screw driver and the plate broke off, leaving the open gap to let out the...

    Coke/Pepsi bag in box sources?

    Currently, what I do is the following; the BIB bag comes with a lid which I unscrew, then if you look inside it, there is like a plastic ring which looks like an octagon with holes inbetween the centre, I just grabbed a screw driver and poked it until that lid fell into the syrup, then I just...

    Rust alet - Carbonator cap

    I bought it from OntarioBeerKegs, I called and was told (~4 weeks ago) that parts weren't sold separately and was advised to try a local hardware store. Why would I be making all this up and go through all this trouble? Are you patrick? the same person who told me the above?

    Rust alet - Carbonator cap

    Thanks for the post, the issue really is that the spring is dead center and what the purpose of the G clip is that the piece of the G clip turn towards the center causing the spring to stay down. The link you posted might work if the plates are lengthy enough to support the spring to as far as...

    Rust alet - Carbonator cap

    The guy said it might dissolve in the acid they use prior to applying the zinc. And I guess you are right about the toxicity of the zinc, I barely applied any pressure on it and it scrapped off. I guess I'm back on the drawing board. Keep wasting time and money, oh boy

    Rust alet - Carbonator cap

    Yes indeed, in fact I run the risk of damaging the spring because it's holding it down and for me to remove it I need to push down and then slightly curve my screwdriver upwards to try and dis-align the clip. I did some more google searching and realized my only option was to keep the piece I...

    Rust alet - Carbonator cap

    The company is from China and only deals with dealers. Sorta like Alibaba, I had to pretend I am was interested in buying in wholesale but wanted some "samples". They deal with distributors not the average joe, and if I ventilate my issues to them they would simply tell me to take it up with my...

    Rust alet - Carbonator cap

    Ok I went to Canadian Tire (Canadia Hardware Store) and picked up some rust remover, let it sit for 1.5 hours and now it's completely cleaned. As for the "G" clip I have no choice but to go and purchase another one but this time perhaps I can coat it with some sealant to prevent it from rusting...

    Rust alet - Carbonator cap

    I made a thread a few weeks back regards to the small piece inside the metal carbonation cap, needed a type of clip, well it finally arrived and after 2 days this is what happened. Apparently the metal used chemically reacted and made it rust, can I clean the rust and reuse it? Any feedback is...
