Hi there fellow homebrewers! After making several batches with natural carbonation I am trying to make my first steps with forced carbonation. I wanted to begin with some low cost equipment and bought a regulator and some carbonation caps in order to carbonate some beer in PET bottles. I also bought a soda stream adapter in order to use sodastream CO2 bottles as my CO2 source. (US $45.99 50% OFF|Home Brew Beer Gas Line Assembly, 5/16 ) The problem is that when a screw the regulator (with the adaptor on) on the sodastream CO2 bottle, the CO2 just flows under the adapter and I don't get any reading on the regulator. When I open the regulator I get some CO2 flow from the regulator but a lot of CO2 just bleeds under the adaptor. Do you believe that the problem is with the adaptor or the regulator?
