Force carb small batch??

[LamIAm]

I found my old Mr. Beer fermenter (2.5 gallons) and was considering making some test batches.

I personally do not like bottling my beers. Has anyone found a good way to force carb a small batch short of buying another corny and filling it half way?

Well they do have 3G ball-lock kegs you can buy for small batches like this. The only other version of small-scale force carbing I know of is a carbonater cap on a soda bottle:

+1 for the carbonator cap. I've only used mine for soda water though. It does have a slow leak past the O ring from the from the mold seam, so I don't know if I'd leave it hooked up overnight or anything. But it should work just fine.

Those carb caps look like exactly what I want.

So I just fill, cap, carb at 30 psi and shake for a few minutes?
