[manley1010]

I have a tank of carbon dioxide with pressure gauge.

Is there a kit to attached to a single champagne bottle to make a sparkling wine?

TIA for your help.

Other then that you will need to buy a Beer gun or a counterpressure filler and both of those do the same thing but are expensive. There is nothing that attaches straight to a bottle though.

Thanks Wade for you help.

I have seen an attachment to a single bottle but it was a long time ago.

I have been searching the web with little success.

You could be talking about "The Carbonator which screws on to a 2 liter soda bottle and uses your gas hose that would go to a Corny keg.

The Carbonator is what I use. You can also make one cheaper

i was kinda wondering this to. Not to make a sparkling wine for storage but to consu,e right away. I was thinking more like the seltzer sprayer you see clowns on TV using. Would this same thing work for wine, water, whatever? Know what I mean?

Thanks Tom,

It looks simple enough. Any thoughts on carbonating wine in a 2 liter bottle and transfering it to a champagne bottle and corking it?

Time frame for carbonitation? Minutes, days, two life times.

The key is get it as cold as possible. Crank the CO2 pressure to 50psi. add,shake,repeat till you get what you need = done.
You will lose to much transferring it to a bottle

I would not try transfering this from one bottle to another as like Tom said you will lose way to much carbonation.

Gift of the gods

Tom,

You are a wealth of information, tks again.

I have reviewed the U-Tube on making a carbonator. My thinking now is to see if I can drill a plastic champagne cork wired to the bottle and follow his proceedure.

My My how things evolve. I would how long it took our ancestors to discover fermentation was a gift of the gods?

I said you would lose to much transferringtp a bottle (not recommended)

There is a wealth of onfo in this forum. If the mods can't answer there are PLENTY here that will.
Just ASK...

 

[arcticsid]

so what about the seltzer bottle method? I haven't looked at your "carbonator" method yet but I will

 

[Tom]

Well Troy what are you waiting for? Ck out the YouTube link

 

[arcticsid]

Takes me over an hour to download a 3 minute video at my connection speed, will wait till later while I am sleeping.

Thats what I said didnt I? I agree with you so if I typed it wrong I apologize!

 

[Tom]

Wade, U gonna get snow next 2 days?

Probably 6-12" nothing like you guys got unless it changes or they screw up. Thats enough for me though.
