Hi!
I'm looking to bottle up 12 or 24 G&Ts for easy drinking this summer. I have a few questions.
Trying to start off easy...
Will pouring tonic in and topping off with gin end up with undercarbed Bottles? This would certainly be the easiest plan.
Going one step more complicated...
I have thought about using a soda cap with a tubing nipple on it to let the soda pressure force itself out of the bottle and into the new bottle. In my mind this would end up with less lost carbonation, due to the lack of pouring. Has anyone tried this?
Finally, doing it the right/Complicated way
If I were to pour all of the tonic and gin into a 3G corny, chill and then force carb how difficult would it be to use the biermuncher beer gun to get it into bottles?
I am assuming that all of the usual beer keg->bottle ideas apply. Chill the bottles as much as possible, chill the mix as low as possible, fill and then cap (don't go in batches.) Is there anything else I should be thinking about?
