Best way to carbonate without a keg?

[HebrewedsoIbrew]

Hi all I was wondering what's a good method of carbonating soda, I've tried fermenting the batches and once a strong fermentation is going I bottle it, I've also tried putting tiny amounts of yeast in bottles and capping them. I'm a little bit nervous about the second method because I did it last night and it doesn't look like it's doing anything. the first method is good but usually I get a yeasty or fermenty taste in my sodas that is undesirable.

Could someone help me out and teach me another way if there is one?
I would really appreciate it.

You could get a CO2 setup (tank, regulator, gas hose & disconnect) and use one of those carbonation caps. They screw on to regular plastic bottles (the kind soda come in). That allows you to carbonate right in the bottle - no yeast/fermentation required and it's very simple. The catch is, of course, the upfront cost of all that equipment.

Hope that helps. Cheers.

Dissolve your yeast into a small amount of water. Stir into your soda. Bottle immediately. (Do not wait for fermentation to start.) It won't look like its doing anything, but if you use plastic bottles, you'll notice they are harder to squeeze after a day. About three or four days they will be rock hard and ready to chill.

If it tastes yeasty, use less yeast on your next batch. It doesn't take much.

Sodastream carbonater of course... just get an adaptor from online to use inexpensive paintball c02 bottles.
