Nice instructional! We have similar set up as well as similar filtered water faucet. To save some unnecessary effort - I purchased a length of food-safe line that slips easily over the filter neck and reaches down to the keg on the floor. No filling extra vessels! and it takes up very little space. The line is slightly oversized and I slip the line up the neck just past the bend in the neck - where the extra friction holds it fast enough not to fall off... then I have free hands to aim the draining end of the water line and keep my other hand on the filter system valve. The oversized line is big enough for water to flow freely and doesn't squirt out the back :)

I can't believe nobody has commented on the joke, "alcohol isn't apparent"...10/10 on the funny scale my man

I thought it would be that easy. Great way to promote drinking more water. Thanks.

I have been doing that for a while with a 9 liter keg. I use filtered taped water also. It is really nice and easy. Lovely water review;)Cheers

Thank you for sharing this!!!

Great video. Exactly what I needed. I got a converted fridge from a friend with regulator and tap. I dont drink much beer these days and was going to do a root beer keg for our son. I got a CO2 bottle, found corny kegs on craigslist for next to nothing and will be setting this up shortly. For what i paid to get rolling it is only a little more than the soda stream i bought for my wife and we should get a ton more water between refills and save $$. Thank you!

great instructional video! Thanks....

Love the video! You're quite hilarious, dude!

very helpful, thank you!

I love ur video I for have a c20 machine and cant get one now how can u make ur water like that with out machine

I do it on a bottle by bottle basis with a tyre inflator and Schrader valve on a pop bottle. I think a lot of people do it that way. You get them super cold in the freezer first... then of course if you get a slug of ice in the neck it's pretty weird when you first open one.

Great video! :-)

I wonder if you can install a second carbon filter in parallel to double the flow of the water...

Maybe a silly question but something I’ve thought about before: thoughts on having mineral water on a tap at a (or your) brewery?

Do you fill the tank with c02 then turn it off and put it in the fridge or keep it on for the 24hrs

Hello, I recently purchased a kegerator to do this exact thing. We are spending so much money on sparkling water! But I NEED HELP! It came with an empty commercial keg. I was hoping I could simply fill the commercial keg with filtered water after rinsing it out well with high pressure hose and soap and water. Any recommendations? I am unsure if it will still work and haven’t tried to open it yet. Thank you.

How long would you say a carbonated water keg will last kept under pressure? Do you need to shake it again after a certain length of time?

I've been making carbonated water for a while, but I've been struggling with the serving aspect. If have to lower the keg pressure to like 10 PSI to serve, but still get lots of foam and lose carbonation. How do you serve it with the keg @ 30PSI and get a pour like that? Do you have a long water line to reduce pressure at the tap? Flow control tap? Thanks.

How long did you let it stand before serving, after charging the keg?

Yo Michael. So my wife (who is missing out on a ton of amazing small batch artesian hand crafted homebrew) is a calorie counter and drinks alcoholic carb water (lame) ...but they are crazy expensive. I assume same process but add appropriate amount of cane/corn sugar and like a champagne or wine yeast to ferment out...and later add favorite flavoring (how do I get a giant box of samples from Amoretti :) love to hear your thoughts...

Is 25 psi the carbonating pressure or the serving pressure, or is it the same? I thought I saw a corny keg carbonator set up (with a stone) that said to use like 60-80 psi...does that sound right?

hello. what was the stuff you put in it? was it calcium carbonate? what else can sub this? is it possible not to put anything, just water and the co2? thank u

How do you refill the water on the keg? Does all the CO2 left on the keg go to waste doing the refill? (CO2 on the keg, not on the tank)

Now we know what a kegerator is!

Would the water still stay carbonated and work ok at room temp. Maybe chill to carb then pull it out. I just don’t want to give up precious beer space permanently. Good idea with the minerals. I wanna do a Perrier clone asap. Thanks! Can’t wait for the opening of sapwood 20 mins from me!

Hi there. Do you just leave your CO2 at 25PSI for dispensing as well? Thanks so much!

I'm in the process of doing exactly this with a corny keg. Is there a faucet that you prefer? Perlick, etc?

I've been using carbonation bottle attachments and just shaking 1 liter bottles that have been prechilling in the fridge for awhile now. It works great, but can be a bit of a hassle. I really want to switch over to a keg so that I can have larger batches prepared and bubbly water on tap. Is it necessary to shake the keg or can you just let it chill in cold temperatures to allow the C02 to get absorbed? Do you also put the C02 tank in the freezer/fridge with the keg? You mentioned that after a few days it will be more carbonated. For about how long into the process do you leave the C02 tank connected to the keg. Do you unhook it at some point? I would imagine that eventually it will just be filling in the empty space with C02 and wasting it? Or would the water eventually get flat?

Look forward to trying this! I plan on trying different water profiles via Bru'n Water just for kicks. Also, is removing O2 necessary for soda water? I know it affects beer flavoring but wasn't sure if it did or not for just plain ole water? Thanks for the vid!

Do I have to keep the CO2 line open while pouring? Or do I have to force carb the water then it ok to disconnect the CO2 line to dispense? Thanks

where did u cylinder from??

Light beer. Lol. I'm wondering if I'll have to replace my hose or just pbw and starsan.

Excellent tutorial michael! Heres a burning question: we have a kegerator with TWO TAPS and would love to have BEER ON ONE TAP and MINERAL WATER ON THE OTHER TAP. Any way this is possible with the different PSI required between beer and moneral water? Even of we bottled the mineral water and stored in fridge?

what kind of refrigeration unit is that?

Where is the easiest place to purchase co2?

for clarification -you added 5 grams of Chalk to a 5 gallon corny?

Great video! Question.......I live in Los Angeles.....would I be able to use my straight tap water? If not....what would I do to the tap water??

Mineral water is water with high content on minerals...

this is almost like Henry's Kitchen

Hi, one question. Is it important to purge the headspace from Oxygen to carbonate water? If so, what are the benefits of doing it and what are the downsides of not doing it? Thank you in advanced

i actually did this the other day - after a few days on co2 mine turns a bit fruity / medicinal? not sure if its the co2 or what?

You don’t need any special keg ? Any corney keg will work ??😮

When you say Carbonic Acid, do you just mean CO2?

why do you add the calc carb? I didn't understand that.

I carbonate water to 105psi. I feel like that’s more common than 25. Have you tried playing with higher pressures? Obviously may require swapping out some of the beer components with components with higher working pressure ratings. I haven’t tried reducing the pressure to anything that low. Might give it a try to see how it’s different.

Nitrogen is used as well.

But diluting the flavor will make it taste more! /s

What about your electric bill?

real selzer should be 50-60 psi

I would not recommend habenero .

Not very explanatory for those that want to learn from scratch .

That calcium powder is going to calcify your arteries.
