I've been serving root beer for years. I've found that 3.5-4.0 volumes of CO2 best duplicates that of commercially available soda. At 40˚F that requires between 25-30 psi. In order to balance out a pressure that high I serve my root beer through 40' of 3/16" ID thick walled beverage tubing. I keep the excess coiled up and neatly zip tied in the back of my kegerator. I feel this combo gives me the perfect amount of carbonation and a perfect pour with no foam.
any idea how i could scale that down to 2L batches carb'd by a co2 keg charger?
since it wont be under constant pressure i am hoping to find out how to pressurize it once - safely
thanks much
I don't know if you can do it with a co2 charger. I mean, that's alot of co2 psi, and you'd run through those little containers really fast. Maybe you could prime it like usual, with yeast? And then just push it with the co2 chargers. You'd still need about 20-30 feet of line, though.
