You just need to be able to pour out & measure from the BIB to get the syrup into the keg. Then add water & CO2 Something like Bib Tap Valve for Coca Cola Brand Bag in Box https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009B1PA90/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Adapters to use standard CO2 on a soda stream exist. Price is decent too if I remember. Google around, one company might be Soda Doctor, Soda Stream Doc, or something like that.

No mini-fridge will fit a keg. You would be hard pressed to find a mid sized one or anything short of a full sized that would. Most homebrewers make a kreezer. Take a chest freezer & replace the thermostat to get proper temperatures. Google the term or poke around on the DIY beer section.

No, it would just go dormant & wait for better temperatures, at least enough would survive to mess up your day.

Doesn't ever come out of plastic or rubber.

Possible, definitely. A corney keg has a pressure relief valve so you couldn't blow it up like with glass bottles. I'd recommend investigating force carbing though, easier and far better control, especially for dispensing. Probably around $150 for the gear for it though.

I use a lot of brown sugar for the extra flavor in my rootbeer. Depends on your tastes I guess.

Cornies are rated to 125 I believe, and have a pop-off valve that will blow before the keg as a safety mechanism. Carbonators do run at 100psi to get the warm water carbonated fast. To get soda level carbonation you need 30-35psi in a keg of soda or water at a temp of the low 30's. It can take a...

The old Pepsi fountin I'm going to be canabalizing for my project just had a 1.5 cubic foot tub. The fridge coils went in the tub with a small mixing motor. Fill the tub up with water & each syrup line & the carbonated water line had about 6ish feet of SS tube snaking along the side. As long as...

Soda is carbed significantly higher than beer (8-10pst vs. 30ish), so using beer bottles for soda is a bad idea. Find a glass Coke bottle & compare the weight to a beer bottle.

5 gal corney keg, 3 of the mixing sticks from the cure your short hose troubles thread & 4-5' of 3/16" hose with a picnic tap on the end. I've been carbing the root beer in the fridge for a week at 35psi shaking occasionally. When I opened up the keg to see what was going on after my initial...

It's a carbonator as KevinM said, basically the guts out of any soda fountain you'll find today. I paid around $150 for a whole used & abused soda fountain that had on. New or good shape used I think they run $200-500 or so. soda fountain dispenser carbonator pump All they are is a float valve...

Brown, has more flavor to it.
