Has anybody ever tried bottle conditioning with dry ice? How much would you use? I figure just a sliver. Just think, it would carbonate and chill it at the same time.

The CO2 needs to dissolve into solution. The correct amount of dry ice to achieve the desired volume of CO2 will explode before it can dissolve
coolest bottle bombs ever!
Literally!!
Kinda like this...only glass

Don't think it'll work, but....
Assuming you want 2.4 volumes in a 355 mL, (and if I remember right, one "volume" is an equivilant volume of CO2 at STP). 2.4 volumes * 355 mL gives [ame="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=TN2&q=(101.325+kPa+*+852+mL)%2F(8.3143+J%2FK%2Fmol+*288.15+K)&aq=f&oq=&aqi="]0.036 moles[/ame]. 0.036 moles at 44 grams per mole is [ame="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=yO2&q=(101.325+kPa+*+852+mL)%2F(8.3143+J%2FK%2Fmol+*288.15+K)*44+g%2Fmol&aq=f&oq=&aqi="]1.59 grams[/ame].

Yuri has done this here. I wouldn't use glass.

I'm totally gonna do this.
In plastic, don't worry.

That is waay to freaking cool!!! So agitation is the difference between carbonation and a bomb, eh.
So who's gonna try it with a two liter pop bottle of beer?
