The "Carbonator Cap" is OK, but be sure to buy the ball-lock fittings it requires, cause you won't find them in a hardware store.

nice thread, but Geez, Glenn, soda costing more than the Scotch? i drink all prices ranges and do use soda much of the time, but at 69-99cents/liter, it seems like a smaller part of the cost .
no one in the thread has mentioned the actual reason for using soda and especially in Scotch. it adds nothing to flavor, may mask it somewhat, but the buzz is much more immediate (and, imho, with less total booze).

It must be (1) cold and (2) have diffuse, unrestricted flow. Look at a soda fountain dispenser head ( e.g.,
i simply invert and crack the cap, it is fizzing as the liquid runs off the cap but there is plenty of CO2 still in solution. very little content is wasted and if the bottler did a proper job, the jug stays firm until the last oz is used. ymmv, of course. --Loren
