Hi,
I am looking to use my old beer & champagne bottles to make soda(I 'll put them in protective jackets). What is the minimum investment to make this economically sound compare to paying $1/L at the store?
1. What kind of adapter(s) do I need for the bottles? Can they be used as caps to store the soda? Is there any good reuseable caps to seal the air?
2. I am thinking to get a small 5/10 lb tank instead of 20 due to the price depending on whether there is rental program locally. Does it really make a lot of difference whether you get it from a beverage store vs a welding store in terms of food grade gas? Those small 8g co2 chargers are about $0.40/L and I saw people quote $0.04/L on the larger tank.
3. What other basic hardware do I need?
I saw a few awesome setups on the forum but it may be too elaborated for my use. I am guessing I need a tank, short braided tubing, clamps, basic regulator, ball lock?
Thanks in advance.
