Well, I was pretty sure this was a bad idea. Running it by the brain trust here, it sounds like I was right. Since I already have the requisite materials to try out my crazy idea I might give it a shot on a few bottles my next batch so I can compare the results to bottle conditioning. If I...

Yeah, that's fair enough! However what I'm proposing is exactly the same setup as the soda water systems that are all over the web with no fatalities that I'm aware of. The only difference would be that I'm putting beer in it. If I wind up with any major injuries, I promise to post again and...

When you say "under pressure" do you mean that I should leave the 2 liters connected to the tank for this entire time? Or do you mean leave the carbonator cap on the 2 liter after pressurization and just put the bottle in the fridge? In any case it is starting to sound like it would be worth...

Yeah. This does make me a little nervous. I know that high pressure gas can be dangerous. However, with all the tutorials on home carbonation and kegging all over the web, you're the first person I've seen suggest that special training is required. Am I a potential darwin award contender...

Really? I mean I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea, but I hadn't imagined it as particularly labor intensive. To my (inexperienced) thinking, this doesn't sound harder than force carbonating in a keg and then bottling as described in the "no stinking beer gun" thread. Can you elaborate a little?

Okay, I'm a real brewing noob. Here's my question: I'm interested in force carbonating my beer, but I want to avoid Kegs. Because of a non-beer related project I'm about to come into possession of a CO2 tank, regulator, lines, and carbonator cap. Basically, the set-up described here...
