from what I heard, lol
But this may be a stupid question. I have just gotten into soda making, I started with Rootbeer and I think I got it, I used champagne yeast and watched my measurements and stuff, BUT I am liking this whole making my own drinks and started to make diffrent flavors. But I don't like using yeast all the time and waiting. I would like to drink it instantly.Would all I need to carb it is C02? Like just the flavored sugar water and some Co2? I tried using Dry Ice and It still came out flat, I also watched some youtube videos about using a Co2 to add carbonation to drinks but it looks like only 2 litre bottles are used. I want to be able to hold a party and make some home made soda for it.So I am trying to do a couple gallons.
Sorry for the ramble, but I am new to all of this and still learning.Thank you.

Any one of those kits would do what you want to.

Edit: Except for the wine making kit.
 
Thanks for the Link Vance!
Im really liking these soda making, I like drinking my own soda better then buying it, I just went and got some soda water from the store and mixed it with my homemade syrup and LOVED IT!
 
I have 3 kegs of beer and 1 of some type of soda on tap at most times. Force carbing works on soda just like beer.
 
I like to brew mine, but if I was looking for instant gratification I would go with flavored simple syrup (1 part water and 1 part sugar), added to seltzer or club soda, like an Italian soda. You could get fancy and have several flavors, and guests could make their own.
 
I myself have searched the web looking for vidoes on doing so. I have a beer set up but would like to know how and see the procedure on how to carb/serve soda. Would rather not use my corneys for it but may use a bag in a box and .......thats just it. I don't know enough about it. How did they use the corneys back in the day?

A link would be great or have someone post a video would be even better.

Thanks in advance!

Back in the day corney kegs were used the same as they are now. Systems that use them are still in use and still available. A cornelius system is a pre-mix system, as opposed to a post-mix system like the BIB systems used frequently today. The difference between them is that the pre-mix system uses the syrup mixed with water and carbed in the corney already. A post-mix system carbs the water first, then mixes with syrup at the time it's dispensed. The post-mix system has a more complicated set up and more pieces that go to it. A pre-mix system is essentially a fancy jockey box. The taps are hooked to the keg, and run through an ice bin or refrigerated plate chiller. CHI actually sells a pre-mix system for around $300. A BIB set up will cost you much more as you'll need a carbonator set up along with it.
