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.

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.

Wade,

Right you are, I just found such a web site with reference to a carbonator.

Manley
 
The Carbonator is what I use. You can also make one cheaper
 
Here is the URL on how to make a carbonator

As he said get a A-80 adaptor
I made some this way.
 
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...:b
 
so what about the seltzer bottle method? I haven't looked at your "carbonator" method yet but I will
 
Well Troy what are you waiting for? Ck out the YouTube link
 
Takes me over an hour to download a 3 minute video at my connection speed, will wait till later while I am sleeping.
 
Probably 6-12" nothing like you guys got unless it changes or they screw up. Thats enough for me though. :re
