hey guys, I recently purchased a carbonator cap as well as a full 5# food-grade C02 tank. It works like a charm - although I've been getting a weird taste in the sodas I've been trying to produce (root beer and cream soda). The pre-carbed soda tastes great, but after it's been carbonated it tastes "thin" (hard to explain) as well as having a sharp taste. I think maybe it's a little over-carbed but most places I read said to carbonate these drinks between 30-40 PSI. My normal process is squeezing out all of the air in the bottle, turning on the gas and shaking the bottle for about 15-20 seconds. I've tried carbing the water by itself and then adding homemade syrup as well as carbonating the entire mixed drink. Any information on how to fix this, as well as any other helpful info on producing sodas using a carbonator cap would be very appreciated!
