Ok Guys, before I spend a couple hundred bucks on equipment I will not use very often I thought I would pose a question to you all for one last opinion.
I really want to carbonate my pee and put it into 12 oz bottles.
I thought about secondary fermentation to naturally carbonate it however I can not seem to figure a way to keep the SG around 1.020 or so for a desired sweetness level. Lemonade without sugar just don't sound good.
I have thought of ways to cheat the system by adding dry Ice to the bottle before capping but after watching a few you tube videos gone wrong I think I'll leave this idea to the idiots. I have thought about Fizzies tablets or alka seltzer however the sodium dose they deliver would not at all be desirable
I have thought of the home brew Tap a Draft systems however I am concerned that the volume of CO2 I would need to do 5 gallons of uncarbonated pee when purchased in those little 16 gram canisters would pay for a kegging system. Not to mention the valve on these are only rated for 15 psi.
Lastly, I called my LHBS to see if they would rent a CO2 tank and regulators if I purchased a used Corney keg. No Luck!
so can Wine Making Talk help me out? Is there an inexpensive way to carbonate wine while still being able to back sweeten without a kegging setup?
