I'm certainly no expert, but if you keep pressing the button on a soda stream, it keeps carbonating your drink as far as its able until the relief valve "burps" the bubbles out of it. I'm not sure if there would be a way to keep it at a contant pressure without over carbonating your beer.

From what i've read, some cartridges contain oil in them to lubricate things like paint ball guns etc. Its well debated, but from what I can see, co2 is co2. The difference lies in what is put with it, or how it is handled and packaged.

I should mention too, for those that will use soda stream bottles in their fridge, you'll notice the pressure of a new 400g bottle go from around 900psi down to about 500psi as your co2 bottle cools down in the fridge. I knew co2 pressure read less as it cooled down, but I didnt expect it to...

Thats gold! Thanks for that, I'll give that one a try

My mates can drink water.. hehe :P The whole internal reg gets removed with the mod I did. The external reg gets attached to that small nozzle that pierces the bottle and thats it. Nice and simple. Having said that, I love your mod because we'll all want to add to our bottle collection at...

Nice job mate! The modded ones (like mine above) will still be able to use the store bought kegs, it just wont pierce the co2 and it will just use your co2 from external reg. I'm aware I'm stating the obvious of course! :)

You're right! I'm just fortunate that the gas bottle and reg tuck away in the back of this particular shelf on the fridge that never really had much on there... Full keg set up is my goal so I didnt mind spending the money on the regulator :)

Its far from elegant, but hey, it works! (well so far anyway)

What would I do without you.... hehe.. thanks again

Would love some pics of that process please! :) Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I just cant find it. What pressure would I want an external reg set at for the TK? Cheers.

This whole Tap King thing has made me see that there is a big hole in the market. If there was a decent, stainless steel 5(ish) litre keg system available designed to fit in a household fridge and be refilled with HB, I think it would take off. Design a good regulator for it, a decent tap and...

Ah yes, sorry, I did see that one :) I've been trying to keep track of the latest and greatest in each TK thread but I'm having trouble keeping up! Thanks again.

Thanks mate. Are you using an external reg with the 8g or just putting them in the bottles with the spacers as i've read others doing on here? Cheers.

Hiya Ross, Thank you for that info! Here is another link to that reg which is from the same person, but its their actual storefront. Does the fact that its sold in an actual store make it likely to be ok or is it hit and miss? My interest in that reg was mainly for the compact size...

I'm considering just running one of these mini regs http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BRAND-NEW-STAINLESS-STEEL-MINI-CO2-GAS-REGULATOR-SINGLE-GAUGE-/261269740367?pt=AU_Barware&hash=item3cd4e3db4f With a soda stream bottle and an adapter...

They seem to come out of the tap stretched when I empty a keg. Having said that, It was my old tap that was doing that to them and I'm convinced there was an issue with that one from the start. I'll grab a bunnings o'ring pack and see how it goes. Thanks!

That's what all the girls say! :p

Two little black o'rings in a row now. Thats a tad annoying! I'm having to try and re-carb the kegs and hope that infection etc doesnt take hold. I've replaced the co2 but have yet to find replacement o rings. Admittedly, I havent looked yet tho

I've blown the little black o ring that is visible from the outside of the lid on the top of the cartridge adapter. I re-primed the keg and put it back on the shelf to see how it goes. I'll have to source those o rings and replace them.

We've had one for over a year too and we use it for absolutely everything. Its a great appliance :)
