Is this kit a good deal? I want to carbonating beer in 2L bottles since I don't have room currently for a keg setup.

GilSwillBasementBrews said:Seems reasonably priced. If I couldn't keg I might have gone that route. You could always just naturally carb as well. But this kit will get you all you need to keg minus the keg and serving tap. Which could be easily acquired in the future.

I just built 4 Carbonator Caps for less than $15.
So if you are a fruggle kind of person you can build your own
It was easy and there is this video from YouTube:

Don't forget you can only carb one bottle at a time with one carbonator cap!
If you're bottling in soda bottles, you might as well prime each bottle instead of force carbing them, since you can only carb one at a time.
You could buy more carbonator caps, I guess (or make some). But I probably would skip the c02 kit and just prime the bottles.
I thought once the co2 dissolves into solution you could quickly replace the carbonator cap with a regular one. Is this not the case?

Yes you can but at about 3 bucks a piece I don't bother.
Also I tried using 1/2 Gallon and GallonJUICE BOTTLES as a test.
They are not designed to hold pressure like a soda bottle but they work.
I did three of them two were carbonated and they were to be used as Growlers and and sent two of them off to the mountains with a buddy he said they held the pressure fine.
The other one:::: I got it cold, had about 2-3 inches head space, I added a bit of CO2 (20 pounds), vented it, added it again and shook it up a bit to get it into solution, added some more and let it sit, amybe added it one more time (IT WORKED)
The bottoms of the Bottles popped out on a couple of them so I stored them sideways.
That looks like them but they were cheaper I think between 5 and 6 bucks.
A buddy picket them up for me at the Auto Paerts Store.
ALSO there is the cost of a CHUCK and maybe an adapter but they are cheap...
