Hello, I am looking to buy an adaptor like this one: http://www.homebrewing.org/The-Adapter-III-Sodastream_p_4671.html This adaptor (I believe) allows you to use a soda stream co2 tank with your regulator. Yes, I know, Sodastream is not cheap, and it would be better to buy my own...

Hello! I have recently gotten into making hard cider! I initially was looking at home carbonators (pure fizz, perlini, etc...) but the advice was overwhelmingly against it! (what did I expect in a home brew forum? :) ). In any case, I have now come to my senses, mostly. I am considering a set...
