    Force Carbonation System

    If you're just doing soda water, you don't need to worry about a 5 day turn around. A Cornelius of cold water should carbonate in 24 hours or a little less (in my experience). If you aren't bottling it, just lower the pressure to dispense and it'll be plenty carbonated. You don't even really...

    Force Carbonation System

    Update: I was reading a few reviews of the regulator I purchased on amazon. It turns out that this particular one has a lot of complaints about the safety valve popping at too low a pressure. I'm not saying that this was my particular issue, but as far as troubleshooting goes, use quality equipment.

    Force Carbonation System

    So up to this point I have been doing super small batches of soda and using a carbonation cap. I get that the more dissolved solids the harder it is to dissolve co2. I am a bartender and am working on going a bit bigger with Cornelius kegs. I will have access to a wunderbar cold plate system...

    My line is 204 bevlex. I looked it up and the outside diameter is .5". It is a pretty short length. I have been carbonation in a 2 liter out of the fridge and the same with a Cornelius keg. My guess is that it is just too warm and I'm not patient enough. Does the CO2 dissolve that much more...

    Force Carbonation System

    I truly have no desire to go to 100. I just found 35 to be fairly mild in 2 liters and a corny. Is my ratio of syrup to water in the soda the issue? Would disabling the valve and going to 50-60 be safe? Thanks again for the answers.

    Force Carbonation System

    I have a 5 gallon CO2 tank and a regulator. I want to carbonate to 100 PSI but my regulator has a safety relief valve that won't let me go beyond 35 PSI. Is it a bad idea to disable this valve? Does anyone have any thoughts about getting more CO2 dissolved into either a corny keg or 2 liter...
