I feel like adding a hose would be a good idea. That could potentially let me hide the tank below a cabinet and then have this device to carbonate the water and make it look like magic

Good idea. The SodaStream is a decent looking appliance that people aren't afraid to put on their countertop. I don't think anyone other than a bachelor under 30 would be okay with a gas cylinder in their kitchen - parka or not. Might work for someone to stock their fridge with multiple sodastream bottles that they gas up in their garage. What about the ability to connect a standard cylinder to an existing SodaStream? This would allow someone who has become addicted to bubbly water to migrate into less expensive refills, assuming they have the ability to locate the tank remotely.

Pretty sure this already exists. Just use a standard soda stream machine and an adapter on the back of it to connect a hose, then onto a 2.6kg cylinder.

Would be sweet if you could carbonate standard PET bottles with it instead of the Sodastream type nozzle.

Option for PET would be great. I'd think generically speaking - if you have sodastream bottles, you probably have a sodastream which gives you options for refilling from larger or adapter to replace with larger cylinder. Making it suited for PET + Sodastream (small adapter in connector?) could add value. If goes into purification if like to see it moulded at bottle connection side with mounting holes so it could be possible to mount on a cupboard/keezer/door with ability to use direct to bottle or hose to remote mount Nice idea overall. Clean looking unit - but big with the bottle

I already use a co2 cylinder and carbonate a 5 gallon corny keg - though it does take a bit of shaking and really a day or so before the water is fully carbonated. In the interim while I’m waiting for that, I use a 2 liter soda bottle and a carbonation cap. I shake it for about 2 minutes while connected to co2 for it to fully carbonate.

YES and the neoprene cover as well. a great idea

Yesssss!!! Absolutely!! I’d be buying one for myself & a couple for presents! A cover over it is nice, but it’d depend on the cost of the cover. But yes definitely would buy it! Please make it!!!

Yes I brilliant idea Keep the good work up

The concept is great but as our SS machine lives on the bench, this setup would look too industrial to replace it. We instead use the Kegland SS cylinder refill valve to refill the original bottles, or we use the Kegland adaptor hose which allows connection of main cylinder direct to the SS machine with the bottle hidden. Those two devices work perfect for us and we go through a LOT of Soda water.

Great idea

I would buy it, great idea

Yes please. Make it & I'll buy it👍

Very interesting. A lot in favour, I must admit it is a good idea for some. I have had my soda stream on a bench sitting on a bench in my kitchen with the 2.6 kg bottle underneath in a cupboard connected, via a neat hole drilled through my bench, by the kegland supplied connector. It just works. The aesthetics are just great.

Yes, please! I will buy one. Agree with different nozzles. Would be nice to reuse PET bottles, or latch type bottles.

Years ago, a friend turned a stainless bolt on a lathe to turn it into a through-holed barb with a threaded portion to clamp a bottle cap, and this was the start of our carbonation adventures. Many years were spent shaking PET bottles until I found your "Carbonation Lid for Continuous Soda Water", which I set up in the Kegerator alongside the latest brew, and I have to say, it's just so nice to have it endlessly available and on tap. The lid itself is very inexpensive (and it works a treat!), but getting it all the way plumbed turns out to be quite a lot of fittings, so maybe a kit for that would do well.

As someone who bought a sodastream adapter hose from you guys - absolutely it's a great idea! I would have gone with this instead: I had zero interest in the small sodastream cylinders and love getting to swap in the larger CO2 bottles. Neoprene cover is an interesting idea as would other ways of hiding it. I'm intrigued by the possibility of doing PET bottles as others have mentioned, though I guess pressure integrity would be the concern in repeated reuse scenarios. Am ok to stick to sodastream bottles (or similar) if there was a safety concern. Love the work on the concept though, great idea.

It is a good idea, and I would be a buyer but for the fact that I am going to install an on-demand system at the sink that uses your gear. Maybe a schmick looking tap-by-the-sink option down the track might be a goer too?

Yes I'd buy. I've a garage setup with co2. Any used 2l soft drink bottle to recycle then no countertop needed given the volume

Looks great to me. Partner hates soda streams for some reason, but loves carbonated water. Already got a 6Kg co2 on the kegerator and a 2.6Kg in the room temp carbonation cupboard, so I'd buy one for sure!

👍Absofreekinlutely! I was just researching the sailing and off-grid channels for a more affordable and reliable 'bulk soda' option than any of the the Soda stream gear. So, refilling and reusing standard PET bottles - that's a big YES from me.

I like it. I'm using a pretty janky setup to refill my soda stream tanks. I would be very interested in this.

As someone who drinks a lot of carbonated water absolutely id buy one. Take my money!!

Love that you guys are thinking outside the box, and trying to save us money! I probably wouldn't buy it based on the design shown - our kitchen countertop space is at a premium (Newtown terrace in Sydney). What I would buy would be something similar that sits snugly on top of my Series X, that I can hook into my existing kegerator gasline (my kegerator sits near our stairs). It would be cool if I could plumb some sort of sodastream gas refill tap into my existing font, but I'd be reluctant to give up a tap :-) This would also win brownie points with the wife as we could then ditch the countertop sodastream machine :-)

This is a great concept, although the FreedomOne with a stronger upgraded hose is a more practical approach in terms of "operational bench top". I had your FreedomOne fittings retro fitted with a suitable hose and works well.

Thanks for that we appreciate the feedback.

This is great for having in a garage, but part the appeal and honestly CONVENIENCE of the Sodastream setup is being able to have it on a countertop also. So having an optional 'housing' and a feed line would be ideal if you wanted to mount it on the countertop as a drop in replacement. IMO as other commenters have mentioned, the best in class alternative would be able to connect to PET bottles, either as a handheld or countertop plastic unit, with either a direct or piped connection back to the tank.

Yes! i would buy one right now

Hell yeah, i'm in!

This is cool! Definitely something i'd recommend to my friends and family who have soda streams. But I wouldn't get one myself because I am planning on having carbonated water and homebrew in my keezer, and i rather only maintain one CO2 tank.

Absolutely yes. But as other have said maybe make an adapter to suit pco1881 thread

.Yes, I would love this. Please.

Yes I want one.

I would like it if it had a whip of hose from the co2 tank to the device. Great alternative I would keep with my brewing stuff.

Yes, I think it's a good idea, perhaps making it with an adapter as well to fit PET bottle with a pco1881 carb cap on it. That way, you could store multiple carbonated beverages without loosing any carbonation from removing the cap.

Yeah I think I would grab one

Yes, I would purchase one.

Great idea. I would love a sodastream for the wife to have carb water on tap (more or less). But I also don't want her having to go outside to my beer fridge (and utilizing one of my kegs which takes forever to carbonate). The one thing that's stopped me buying a SS is the gas issue. I would definitely be a purchaser

Thanks for that we appreciate the feedback. Have you tried using the carbonation reactor lid. This carbonates really fast.

Yes for sure🎉

I have 2x5kg co2 tubes i would love to have something like this. Pet bottles as other people said would be nice.

This would be good, but it needs the ability to release c02 from your drink slowly. The soda stream can’t do it, but some other products have the ability to bleed off the c02 so you don’t get a crazy foaming if you carbonate something other than water.

Sounds like a good plan to me

As a reseller of your equipment it makes sense but you should integrate a plastic gas bottle cover as part of it. Just plain white plastic would be fine, but make it a shape that would be easy, for example, to cover with vinyl wrap so people can colour co-ordinate it with their kitchen or bar.

The problem with the SodaStream is that you can only use water without syrup. I only know of one product that works with syrup. That would be a really big advantage.

Simple answer yes…that would be great. Would you sell the bottles too? With caps? I can see lots of possibilities…love the idea.

Anything is possible

You can use a standard pet bottle if you buy a few RED/Yellow FermZilla - Liquid/Gas Post Plastic Carbonation Caps. You just hook up your gas bottle and regulator to a duotight Ball Lock Disconnect.

Damn this had me very excited at first but then I can't lug my 20L tank around. I want to use the soda stream as a mobile keg dispenser or on the counter for water. I'd say this would be really cool if I could charge a soda stream type of cylinder with my main CO2 canister via some type of transfer outlet

If you could make a version compatible with the qarbo lids, or made your own definitely.

Great idea, what would be good is if you could have both this and a regulator connected at the same time, i.e. so you can use a single cylinder to carbonate kegs in a kegertor as well as carbonating water like this; something like a T or Y connector?

If this worked with standard PET bottles instead it would be a winner for me! The comments saying this is something which you already sell in the form of a carbonation kit are incorrect, it isn't the same thing. I've been trying to build one for my own use, but mine would be on the end of a hose that allows me to put the 5 pound cylinder under the counter

Not sure I see the point- don’t you sell a hose that fits a soda stream and allows the use of larger cylinders? Would look a lot better on the benchtop

We have a Soda stream machine so we would have to work out the benefits of one system over the other. The hose you sell would give us the same result. If we were starting out I would get that system in a heartbeat..👍

Just do the "all-go"-adapter, wich pull the bottle neck/opening (what ever diameter size) towards the flat soft surface, then the co2 burst to the bottle (what ever form) similarly as original. The bottle staying between co2-head and lifting bottle stand.

I just make my own in a keg,good concept though, but are interested if you could source and supply some high quality raw cola syrup.

Make a growler attachment for it i always end up with 2l left over

Would be great if you can then make all 3 current CO² threads so all countries can benefit ... eg (W21.8) (CGA320) (G5/8) ... hope I got that right. .... but I would also prefer a PET option 👍

I already have your connection for the 6kg bottle to the soda stream so probably not. If starting out again though it would be a good idea though. A feature my wife likes of the soda stream is being able to choose how much CO2 is used. Not sure how you could do that on your proposed device (other than manually). Cheers

Counter space would probably be close to the same with the housing of the sodastream…I’d certainly consider it. Since ours is in a pantry; aesthetics is a non-issue.

If this was using regular soda bottle threads, and dont have to shake them like when using the ball lock carbonation cap, that would be awesome

Yes please i have had no luck with connecting soda stream bottle to a cylinder.

Smart thinking 99!! Would consider it if I didn't already have a $oda$tream. Although, is the pressure adjustable? I like my bubbly very bubbly. Also as mentioned a PET bottle adaption. What would you call it ??

@KegLand

3 ай бұрын

You add more CO2 rather than adjust pressure. Like a Sodastream. Name is undecided. I am partial to BubbleZilla. But everyone else hates it

Yes, I think it would sell, especially if you owned a kegerator/draft system, and your kegerator was empty, and you wanted some fizzy soda, or carbonate a wort, mead or ciders quickly, to see if you want it carbonated or leave it still, and of course the people that really use those SodaStream machines a lot, would consider buying it, I think too

absolutely

already having the 2.6 kg tank i would love that i was looking to buy a soda stream but the cost of the refills has held me back so thats a yes from me

i would buy one today but would like to use glass bottles

Nice idea but a bit bulky, i just fill my sodastream bottles with your adapter

I think most people using it enough to worry about the cost of gas would have it on a benchtop or in a kitchen cupboard, so aesthetics and size/weight would be important and so it would probably be better just paying the cost of the sodastream gas, or messing around refilling the sodastream gas bottle off a bigger co2 bottle. Or as others have suggested, just using a carb cap on a normal bottle which is only a few bucks. I'd personally prefer it if you kept your focus on what you've been doing with all the great beer stuff, or solving whatever supply chain/stock issues lead to long periods of items being out of stock. I understand its a tough gig and I appreciate what you do, but items out of stock seems to be the gripe for most of us.

I'd buy it.

Yes, my wife drinks a ton of carbonated water! And I brew my own beer. So I've actually been thinking it would be a great excuse to get a CO2 cylinder to both pressurize tapwater for the Mrs, and to carbonate my newly brewed beers as well (in still-to-purchase kegs). Having a kit like this would be perfect for me. Though I agree with the others: strong preference to be able to reuse 'regular' PET bottles (I live in Northern Europe; not sure if there's a worldwide standard?). I'd be put off by being required to use Sodastream or other proprietary containers/consumables.

This wouldn't be the product for your use case then, you would be quickly infecting everything because of the dip tube. Just get a cylinder and regulator, ball lock disconnect and the soda bottle ball lock caps. Then you can do the soda bottles, and then you could use the Oxebar kegs, or stainless mini kegs, or you're halfway to a full kegging setup already.

This is the exact thing I need . How I can buy this ?

I would say yes, but I rekon the weight of the 2.6kg steel would deter some people from having them on the kitchen bench. Personally I keep my machine on the top shelf of my cupboard out of sight, so I can avoid that problem. Id much prefer to use a 2.6kg, but I’d probably keep it in the garage with my brew gear or in a low-bench. To me that’s not a problem but it may be for others

I'd be more interested in something with a duotight fitting on it, so i could rig it up in my kegerator

Do a hose so you can hide the cylinder and have wall mount for the thingy.

Could you make it wall mountable? Would be cool to mount it in the kitchen with a hose connecting to the bottle under a bench

I would buy it.
