how to carbonate in bottles without using the champagne method

[OLJA]

Hello!

We have been searching all over the world and the internetz looking for a cheap and simple (at least as cheap and simple as possible) method for carbonating the beer directly in the bottles. So far without any luck. We dont want to use the champagne method. Anyone that has any ideas??

Best regards, OLJA

Very few homebrewers use the champagne method, or if you prefer to be a fancy pants, methode de champenoise. We add sugar to the finished beer (with yeast in suspension), and the beer carbonates under the pressure barrier applied by the cap. The champagne method includes the extra step or removing the yeast and other settled material from this process to produce a carbonated bottle with no (or very little) sediment.

Are you saying you want to have carbonated bottles with no sediment? Other than the champagne method, the only way to do that is by force carbonation using pressurised CO2. Google "carbonator cap." This requires you to have a source of pressurized CO2, but you don't need kegs and all the other stuff that goes with kegging.

Hope that helps, and welcome to HBT.
