The Soda Stream Experiment

Comment by Stu McKinlay on April 28, 2009 at 9:43pm

You're taking the piss... I tried fizzing a flat beer through a Sodastream once and ended up wiping the floor (and the pantry) for the next fifteen minutes...

Maybe I should've chilled it.

I know what you mean about the "raw hop - acetyldehyde" thing. It can be confusing.

Anyway... I have I always hae 10-20left, so I keg it or put it in riggers and 'force' secondary at warm temps.

Fair Dinkum Cobber - The beer needs to be cold, otherwise you get all the CO2 wanting to jump out of solution at once as it is considerably less soluble at warmer temps. This Soda Stream Beer was way way way too overcarbed, because I went overboard pumping it with gas - but I still didn't have much of a mess.

Re the carbonator cap, I was getting a new tyre fitted at the local Firestone branch recently and I asked the fitter if they had any threaded valves that I could screw into a lemonade bottle cap. He went to the valve tray and came back with just the thing. Didn't even charge me for it. A free carbonator cap :-)
