What size servings were they, the sodastream seams to be 30% of the other to so I would think that would be a smaller serving (i.e. the Red Bull and Monster are for 1 can and the sodastream is for 100ml)
Or was this per 100ml (or whatever amount it is)
Edit: Was at the supermarket tonight and checked, Red Bull is 32 mg of caffeine per 100 ml.

Easy solution go to roaring lion's webpage and buy a virtually identical box of syrup and keg it

 

[ImperialLover]

Get a coke syrup, dilute as specified, add whiskey to taste and viola!! You've got Jack and coke on tap!!! My SWMBO will hate you for all eternity for establishing this thread!!!:rockin:

I think the poster is correct:

Oh well, guess I'll just have to drink twice as much now that it's economically viable. Could also concentrate the mix to bump it, but I don't know how that will effect flavor.

I think I am going to need to install that third tap now. Premixed Red Bull and Vodka from the tap just sounds too amazing (and dangerous).

 

[cincybrewer]

Very interesting. The 'regular flavors' and Sparkling Naturals look better for you than your store-bought soda. I wonder if these will work the same. Just add to the keg and fill with water?

 

[Zixxer10R]

when i use a carbonation cap i fill to just above the where the curve starts and squeeze the bottle til the liquid reaches the top. This both purges the o2 and gives room for the co2 to enter and have some headspace.

No it doesn't. You aren't drawing in CO2 when you release your hand from the bottle. All you've done is just sucked back in the O2 you "purged". Bottles don't breath like humans do.

If you put the carbonator cap on before releasing your grip all the O2 would be displaced. Then when you connect the CO2 QD it should fill with CO2 only. I think thats what he was getting at.

"Contains Vitamins B6 and B12, Niacin, Folate, Riboflavin, Vitamin C, Caffeine and Biotin."

So it has everything but the Taurine more or less.

lol. yeah he means to squeeze it and cap. thats what I do with my carbinator caps. i bottle a 20 oz bottle with my wand and then do the squeeze technique. works like a charm.

I am going to make some of this for my sons 1st birthday. there will be some <21 peoples there and they will want to drink from a keg. plus soda kegstands? get them ready for college! :rockin:

Thanks OP, I cannot wait to get some soda/energy drink going.

oh, rambling, what about mixing the energy and some cola mix, get a kind of monster cola kinda vibe? I may have to try this when I get my kegs early next week, will report back....

 

[SouthernCross]

Never kegged soda, just beer. Is this something I can put up in a spare tap-a-draft bottle successfully? Anyone have experience? I'd love to try it, but hate to go to the expense of a little soda machine or running soda through my keg setup.

Seems like you should be able to concentrate it. I mean everything is in lesser amounts than Red Bull including calories and sugar. I'd try to concentrate it and see how it tastes. I may have to check this out. Red Bull is my energy boost of choice.

I thought kegging soda's could provide off flavors for the tubing/keg? I know that all of the kegs were originally soda kegs, I just remember reading somewhere on here that you should just add the syrup after you've dispensed the water.

I've had problems with syrup in old corny kegs so you probably bring up a valid concern. Maybe it'd be better if you had a dedicated keg with dedicated tubing for this?

 

[deaton83]

This will be great for my 3 gallon keg

 

[AlphaWolf-Brewery]

I got a couple of the bottles of syrup today. The energy one did taste just like Red Bull, but the Cola one, not so much.

This is what I do, instead of adding the syrup to the keg I just carb the water put some syrup in a glass and add the carbonated water. That way no off taste if I need to use it for beer later and you can choose between the available syrups.

I wouldn't think it would as good as a regular cola since it has way fewer calories and no HFCS. Was it any good at all?

 

[AlphaWolf-Brewery]

It was drinkable. Actually it wasnt really the sweetness that I felt was off, but the sharp acidic bite at the end of regular Cola was missing.

Really you want HFCS, I though most people thought it tasted better with sugar? I think we still might have sugar in ours and heard on the radio the other day that some company was importing Coke from the USA and people were saying it just wasn't as good. But as with everything, each to their own

That could be the carb level, ever notice how flat Coke is always sweeter than fresh. The disolve CO2 does actualy for carbonic acid to give it a bit of a bite.

The carb level might be it, it has on been on gas for two days. I shook the crap out of it but it might need more time or a higher psi.

Yeah, remember that (apparently) most soda is carbinated higher than beer. I think most on here go for about 30 PSI if I remember correctly.

morons all... this is pretty funny

probably just whatever you are used to. Coke and most everything uses HFCS here so we probably think it tastes better...or at least different. But then again I don't know what Coke tastes like without HFCS (diet coke?) so who knows.

Thanks for the constructive posts. Glad we made you giggle. Now GTFO! :rockin: There's caffeine to be consumed!

 

[Baron ken]

Might be worth trying if it didn't contain crappy artificial sweeteners (Splenda and acesulfame potassium). I'll take regular sugar, please. Or at worst, HFCS.
