just buy a sodastream you fucking cunt retard.

>>21690363
FippyBippy

>>21690363
I have one, but sodastream does only water in plastic bottles you jackass, and for the money it costs this is way better.

>>21690331 (OP)
This is kind of cool, is it easy to get the CO2 tank refilled?

>>21690389
Yes, if you live not too far from a big city.

>>21690366
Sodastream does only water. If you want to carbonate any drink you need something like Drinkmate.
Both are overpriced petg pieces of shit and even Drinkmate only will get you a light fizz on your drink, because the mechanism they use is just shoot high pressure co2 into the drink scrambling it all up and making impossible for it to retain much gas.
So i made this, carbonate directly into the glass bottle with a polycarbonate shield for protection, a sub micron diffuser and magnetic stirrer.
It dissolves slowly co2 into the drink and in the end you can release the pressure slowly as well so the liquid retains the gas.
I can make any drink very very fizzy with it.

0/10 for going out of your way to drink poison.

>3d Printed Adapter
What is it with dorks always wanting to announce they 3d printed something for some gay little nicknack around their house?

>>21690388
>for the money it costs this is way better.
<sarcasm> oh yeah that looks totally cheaper </sarcasm>

>>21690439
What poison?

>>21690441
People with brains tend to be articulated.

>>21690455
>he doesn't know

>>21690431
The magnetic stirrer is pointless wank, just shake the bottle a couple times.

>>21690475
That is a glass bottle at 3 bar.

>>21690457
People with brains tend to be connected by joints? How moreso than people without brains? Double-jointed, maybe.

>>21690457
people with brains wouldnt use 3D printed stuff for food because that shit aint food safe
hf drinking your microplastics

>>21690431
How quickly can you get something very fizzy? Patent the basic design and you could be on to something.

theres a guy on youtube that does it all with a sodastream
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S7z-Lg39KM&list=PLRZ2v9TdaT8MsCYkKQgwC_JmJcS0FVAhj&index=3

>>21690331 (OP)
1. Extremely based.
2. Tripfaggots proven to be fucking retards.
3. Should have made a corny keg adapter for your bottles so you could also use your co2 line with small kegs(1-2 gallon mini kegs), but WHATEVER you still did the thing.

>>21690542
About 3 minutes with co2 dissolving at 3 bar and 5º C, that is around 45 psi and 40ºF

>>21690555
You can only a little fizzy, and if you over do it then the pressure release opens and starts spitting all your drink all over the counter.
I tried believe me.

>>21690549
I will get a bottle today and try. I'll post results

>>21690541
That is petg btw and is not in contact with the drink. The hose is silicon and the diffusor stainless steel. I orderer a stainless steel stirring bar but it has not arrived yet.
I may outsource the petg adapter and get it in stainless steel as well. The gasket is silicon too.

I haven't been this interested since centrifuge anon. CARBONATE ALL THE THINGS.

>>21690634
>You can only a little fizzy
idk, the guy in the vid has some success and its a good compromise since anything above a certain limit gets released when you open the pressurized container anyway
theres no point in carbonizing it more for the sake of it when the end result is the same since you ultimately want to drink it at atmospheric pressure anyway

>>21690567
>>21690637

>>21690647
I have the sodastream and i tried. If you try to get it as fizzy as a cocacola the damn thing overflows and your drinks starts to shoot out the pressure relief valve. You can do it a little, but not really really fizzy.

>>21690635
Nice, red or white ? Either way I'm very interested

>>21690720
Red, a regular Chianti. I have it on the fridge right now cooling down. I'll post the result.

>>21690363
>just send your money to israel

>>21690720
So here i am carbonating a regular Chianti.

>>21690720
Is it hard to see the bubbles and that is important, so i shine a light through to see what is going on.
In this photo you cant see much but i was seeing clearly all the tiny bubbles swirling around properly.

>>21690720
It came out very very fizzy. Much more than i expected. I did 3 minutes of buildup pressure and stabilization and then i released slowly the pressure.
It seems that with wine you have to bring down the pressure much more slowly than with tea to get the maximum result.
It very slowly released the extra gas until it was normal pressure.

>>21690720
It tricks my palate because being so cold and fizzy my brain thinks this is cocacola.
It is actually very tasty, but being so cold some of the wine flavour is difficult to catch.
I will try letting it warm up again at room temperature while keeping it in the bottle.

>>21690363

>the sodastream unit and all equipment remains property of jewstein inc, you have purchased a revokable license to use it
uhmazin
also it fucking sucks

>>21690391
The tank seems kinda small; how many drinks can you make before needing to get it refilled?

>>21690896
A tremendous amount, hundreds of these bottles. Unlike with sodastream, very little co2 is lost using this method.
But getting this 2kg Co2 tank refilled costs like 10 to 15 euros anyways.

>>21690901
cool thread!

can you upload a video of the floating bubbles?

is it noisy?

I want to see it with just water. Like are the bubbles big?

>>21690840
Cool stuff, would buy a kit if it was available to use on my kombucha.

>>21690901
I might actually build one of these then, it looks cool

>>21690331 (OP)
overkill/10

>>21690906
No it doesnt make any noise. Now is late here, but tomorrow morning i will make more fizzy tea and i will try to make a video so you can see

>>21690914
You can buy a beer carbonating kit with a 1, 2.5, or 5 gallon keg if you just wanted something you can keep cold, carbonated and have on tap at home. They even have bottle fillers you can use that don't create a shit load of foam if you wanted to take bubbles on the go. Kegs take a day or two to fully carbonate depending on the temp of the liquid.

>>21690931
One of those would be ok if i wanted to make a big amount of 1 beverage.
But now i am just experimenting all this stuff and trying different recipes in small amounts. For the next try i am preparing green tea infused with mint leaves and sweetened with allulose.
I am actually learning a lot

>>21690923
thank you
have a nice sleep science buddy!

>>21690331 (OP)
I have a 5lb co2 tank with necessary regulator thingy and an adapter for ptfe bottles.
I'm not brave enough to use glass but your setup looks far better than needing to shake the bottles by hand

>>21690331 (OP)
It's probably not a big deal in this case but i would like to let everyone ITT know that 3d printed parts are not food safe.
What is the use of the magnetic stirrer? Can this be done without it? And what about the diffuser?

>>21691249
It makes the co2 dissolve faster.

>>21691263
Yep, and more gently. When carbonating things that have a lot of suspended particles you want to carbonate it without disturbing the liquid too much.

>>21691249
Petg is the stuff plastic bottles are made of. In this case 3d printed is not food safe because the irregularities on the surface that can get bacteria in, but even 'food grade' petg is toxic anyways, that is why i am doing it directly on the glass bottle.
As i said in a previous post i probably will outsource the adapter in stainless steel if i dont find another solution.
The diffuser is entirely made of stainless steel.
Tubes are food grade silicon.
The stirring bar has a cover in petg but i have orderer a stainless steel one.
Also the brass connector need to be stainless steel, i have ordered them too.

no need for this shit

they have these already

>>21691440

how do you do this?

>>21690331 (OP)
redneck / engineering
It's excessive in a "This is what I have" kind of way. I appreciate and enjoy it.

>>21691449
Cook with sugar and water/alcohol/liqueur/juice as necessary, or juice/press and blend with sugar if it's heat sensitive (like ginger)

>>21691455
>Cook with sugar...
No thanks.

>>21691449
just boil it down to get the water out

you might need to change the recipe to handle boiling so the flavours last, basically what I am saying is that its much easier to buy pre-cabonated water and mix it with your flavourings than to go through the route of carbonating a liquid yourself

maybe the flavour gets ruined by making a syrup, but if coca cole can do it im sure its feasible

>>21691474
that's what a syrup is. If what you're cooking down has enough sugar in it, you might wind up with something syrupy, but you're unlikely to get something shelf stable unless you can completely dehydrate it.
Rich (2:1) simple syrup and other syrups based on it are shelf stable.

>>21691477
I didn't mean literally syrup, I meant a liquid with a syrup like consistency. I guess I should have said a concentrate.

>>21690331 (OP)
what's the chance of this setup killing you and everyone in your household

>>21690331 (OP)
I like
Here is my less sciencey set up. Its slower but it makes a tad over 3 gallons at a time.

>>21691488
2kg is not enough to raise the co2 to a dangerous level inside the house. I also have a co2 alarm detector not because the co2 tank, but because the two pellet stoves.

>>21691489
And in mobile cooler serving form

>>21691489
why do you need it if you buy all these cans anyway

>>21691502
Idk man that's just a garage fridge that beer and other drinks accumulate in from party's and whatnot. N

>>21691486
Your best bet for a lot of wet things would be freeze-distillation, and liqueurs/tinctures for many dry things. A lot of flavourings reduced to that level of concentration through heat will denature, caramelize, or brown.

>>21691516
Oh that's cool, I miss chemistry, thank you.

>>21691489
Nice. I drilled my fridge. Got a cool nitrogen mixer that does nitro + a lower concentration blend that works well for pushing the liquids out of the keg. I even got an auto filler attachment that keeps a water keg topped up with cold carbonated water.

Got everything at a brewery auction for like 500 bucks.

I made those custom tap handles also. Fun project. I used to keep a 5 gallon keg of yerba mate cold brew in there are would go through it in like a week lol.

>>21691526
Nice. Im actually in the process of moving it all to a stand along kegerator. I bought a broken one for 50 bucks and got a leftover peice of marble countertop cut to fit as a new top. Going to cap it off with gold tap tower and faucets so it will look real sharp. The it will live in the house instead of garage.

Yall ever regret carbing something?
I carbed some full strength lemoncelo and it turned it into a chemical weapon. Do not recommend.

Carbonated bloody Mary's turned out incredible though.

God damned hardware acceleration...
This is my fizzy drink maker.

Super cool setups, not something I think I’d try but probably awesome with fresh fruit juice and herbal drinks

>>21690914
I’m interested too but afraid I’d kill myself by accident

>>21690468
Yeah, and neither do you or you'd have had a real answer. The dude is making fresh soda to avoid anything even some lunatic would consider poison. Whatever he's making it's all natural.

The problem is you still end up buying the base product you are carbonating and are trying to replace the part that effectively has no cost.

>>21692077
stellar video, and a man of his word. Lucky wife

>>21691809
The red cap and white airlock is beer... The system works pretty well with fresh grape, apple, and pear juices.

>>21691857
Carbon dioxide and carbonic acid (CO2 dissolved in water) are toxic in high doses - starting at something like 4% for inhaled CO2. Anything's harmful if you try hard enough, even water, salt, and oxygen in a variety of different ways.

>>21690840
>>21691489
Very nice, I think I'm going to build a small setup to test stuff on

>>21690331 (OP)
>>21691526
one of the weirdest hobbies i have ever seen i love this board

>>21692152
ok, we're talking about fizzy water

>>21692270
That would be carbonic acid coming out of solution.
Don't breathe it, especially while it's wet and fizzy.

>>21692093
I mostly make water. So the only thing im adding is minerals and co2. The minerals are so cheap for the quantities used their basically free.

Or when I do made stuff its homemade as well. I made some trpical redbull complete with industrial flavoring compounds that were liberated from a major corporation my an industrial chemist.

I have also fucked with making a healthy(er?) Home made soda drink with some intresting results. Carbed iced coffee is incredibly cola like on the front. Still more like coffee on the aftertaste. So im going to try to control that by getting the lightest cleanest coffee possible then carefully slow brewing at room temp to keep yhe roast away, then fortifying with cascara ( a /ck/ suggestion) citrus, vanilla, and spices to round out the cola profile.

>>21692338
for actual redbull flavour, make an Aviation cocktail with too much creme de violette and lemon juice... It's a terrible flavour when you're not expecting it.

>>21692338
>citrus
a tiny bit of lemon juice, and a bit of orange peel or a few drops of orange blossom water
>spices
largely ginger and cinnamon. If you go a little too far, a very small bit of cinchona, gentian, or chicory will bring it back, but could add a certain lower GI bullet train effect.

>>21692105
Thx anon!

That looks amazing I kneel.
Im a complete amateur, how do I start making one for myself?
Where should I start from?

>>21690363
shalom!

>>21692638
A co2 bottle, a regulator, a keg, and the appropriate lines and fittings. You can buy it all on Amazon. Or watch Facebook marketplace for used kegerators. People generally want way too much for a working one, but I find broken kegerators all the time. Last one I bought was 50 bucks. And it came with an empty keg ( 50 bucks used] and empty co2 bottle ( 50 bucks used) and a good regulator ( 75-100 dollars). So even if the kegerator was tits up the whole thing was a bargain.

I was able to fix the kegerator though.

>>21690388
>I have one, but sodastream does only water in plastic bottles you jackass,
That's just plain not true, my soda stream works with glass bottles.
>and for the money it costs this is way better.
That part is fair, the refill containers are expensive for no good reason while lab containers are cheaper. I still don't bother because with store brand containers the difference is small enough that I prefer the convenience, but if I used it more I may have considered hacking it to take lab CO2.

>>21693750
I am watching the glass ones now, but sodastream is only for water anyway, not any beverage.

>>21690331 (OP)
I wonder what the point of all that nerd stuff is when you can also get fizzy drinks from effervescent tablets. People forget about these things or something?

>>21692307
>Don't breathe it
wasn't planning to

>>21693849
they only say this because they dont want to be held accountable when some retard clogs the safety valve to vent pressure and bombs himself
you obviously can do it

>>21695090
Ok. Don't.

>>21690457
How long did it take to print those?

>>21695127
That small adapter? About an hour. Is a small part.

>>21693849
They're not, in fact SodaStream sells various (overpriced) syrups to make your own soft drinks in your machine, meaning they explicitly endorse that use.
That being said if it's something more natural like homebrewed tea the particles suspended in the liquid act as nucleation points so it foams like a motherfucker, meaning you have to find ways to manage that or work around it.

>>21695098
I have the sodastream and it cant do other drinks. The Co2 jet disturbs the liquid too much so it foams up blocking the release mechanism and overflowing through the pressure relief valve. You can only do a light fizz with it.

>>21695018
Those only make bitch baby bubbles. With a proper tank system you can make very strongly carbonated beverages.

>>21695133
To be able to make something like fizzy tea and other beverages it is essential to be able to release the pressure slowly. If you dont you end up with a foamy mess in your kitchen.
I dont like the use of sugar or any sketchy syrup, specially from a company like sodastream.

>>21693750
Get a big tank from a welding store. Way cheaper and it's the same shit as food grade.

>>21695142
> bitch baby bubbles
lmao
