First off, I'll state that this question relates simply to creating carbonation device to carbonate water or any other liquid like those Sodastream machines.
I saw this product http://www.mypopsoda.com/Instructions_for_use_2-17-12.pdf that uses yeast and sugar to naturally create CO2 that can then be stored and used to carbonate liquids.
This got me thinking and I wanted to seek advice as to whether a Cornelius Keg could be used where one fills it with yeast and sugar as the reactor container to dispense CO2 directly into a water bottle to carbonate it. I thought to use a Cornelius Keg because of its wide opening (ease of adding ingredients and cleaning) and because being made of metal it could withstand high amounts of pressure allowing me to store large volumes of CO2 for extended periods of time while carbonating water off and on as needed.
Other than thinking it up, I have no clue whether this would be possible or even how to do this and I wanted to see if anyone with some experience could weigh in.
Thanks
