I've watched at least a handful of these already and found myself confused every time, this was easily the best one. thanks for answering all the questions and troubleshooting.

I was confused by many as well, it’s a little scary feeling at first, but once you get the process down it’s much less stressful. Thanks for watching! 🙌

I believe that you can get a hose adapter straight from the 20 pounder to your soda stream, you need a tank without siphon, tho.

Yep, that’s very doable. Just need the space or setup to keep that connected. I like the minimal setup and just refill my 4 cylinders every other month or so.

I have the same setup, and have not been able to refill more than 50g (due to lack of freezer space, I'm not freezing empty tanks). I was getting 200g when the tank did not have a siphon tube and I had to invert it. I'm hinking really hard about removing the siphon tube on the next refill. I'm also beginning to think that carbonating directly from a regulated non-siphon 20lb tank to water bottles may yield hundreds more liters of carbonated water. Experience and some research tells me that siphoning liquid Co2 may be extremely inefficient.

Best how to vidio I've seen BTW. Great job!!

Thanks! I wanted to make it as clear as possible. More to come!

Nicely presented video! I've just begun researching soda makers so I appreciate all the detail you've went into with the whole process and the equipment you used. Small nitpick with the use of locking pliers since it's not the best tool for tightening the valve vs a wrench.

Thanks so much! Yes, a better tool would be a wrench for sure, but just had to go with what I had on hand. Thank you for watching and stay bubbly! 🫧

How long can you keep a full co2 cylinder ? Say if I have a 20 lb cylinder and with 5lbs left after year or so is that still good to make sodas?

As long as the tank is stored properly and there are no leaks, the CO2 can be stored indefinitely without losing its quality or pressure.
