I'm carbonating a 3-gallon corny keg of filtered water to make plain sparkling water. I've been using a carbonator cap and 2-liter bottles, but they have been leaking and costing me in gas refills. I'd like to move to a corny-based system with a tap. I already have a 5-gallon beer corny in my kegerator and this would sit next to it and use its own dedicated tap.
So, some questions:
1. How long will it take to carbonate a 3-gallon corny to 30psi?
2. How long a line do I need for dispensing by tap? I've read 1 foot for each PSI, but that seems excessive.
3. Can I use regular beer taps? Is any type of tap better than another?
4. Is there any way to refill the keg on the fly, without losing all carbonation?
Thanks!
