In the past I've only used sparklet bulbs to brews, reason was i could get hold of them for next to nothing; things have changed, so I've moved up to CO2 tank with reg & cornys.
Now to my question after upgrading, as an experiment to get my bearing so to speak.... i tried to forced carb a bottle of tap water in a 500ml bottle, placing 350ml of water in the bottle, pressurised it to 60psi (4bar) the max i could give via the regulator.... shook the bottle to death, topped it backup, yet wasn't able to carbonate? why?
Help.... if a can't force carb a bottle of water what hope do i have? Were have i gone wrong!
Is it a temp issue?
Do need to boil the water first? (help to removing O2)
my brain hurts......
