Hi all,
I have an event happening on Friday (two days from now). I'm pouring beer in this event, but was requested to have a non alcoholic carbonated drink. First thing came to my mind is making 5 gallons of ready minute made lemonade and force carbonating it in a keg. What I need help with is:

1- I do not know if Co2 do easily disolve in water or lemonade, if so what pressure do I need to put the keg under to achieve good carbonation for lemonade.
2- What is the Co2 level I need for Lemonade?
3- Using the standard technique of shaking / rolling the keg while it is under pressure do you think Ill get the lemonade carbonated in two days?

Thanks
 
1 - Beer is mostly water. Soda is mostly water. Seltzer is carbonated water.
2 - How fizzy do you want it? For soda I carbonated at s'thing like 5-6 vols.
3 - It will, somewhat. But not near as fizzy as a soda would be.
