I'm trying to use carbonator caps to carbonate 2l bottles of water for seltzer and am having trouble with the carbonation level - it always seems very undercarbed compared to store-bought seltzer.
I leave the water in the fridge overnight to get good and cold. I set the reg to 35psi, purge the air from the bottle and hit it with CO2. Shake shake shake, hit with more CO2, repeat until the bottle stays rock hard after a good shaking. It still seems undercarbed.
Do I need to leave it on the gas? Or leave it overnight? I'd rather not leave it on the gas as the cap doesn't seem to seal very well.
Thanks,
