Get a counter pressure filler and use a kegging setup to dispense it into bottles - if you go the keg route you won't have to bottle it.... Bottling will entail getting sticky cola and bourbon all over you

I'm not worried about getting sticky bourbon and cola all over me, since i would happily bathe in the stuff!!

I'm steering away from kegging it. It's more that i want to be able to grab half a dozen stubbies if I'm going to a mates place or something.

I just googled counter pressure fillers and it looks like exactly what i'm after. Thanks DJR. :beer:

This is something I've been thinking about for a while. Is it possible mix spirit, water and soda stream coke cordial, shake the craphaus out of it to mix it up and then carbonate? can you run it through a tap? has anyone done this (am I asking stupid questions?)
Edit - I forgot to mention I mean mixing in kegs...

Give the tap-a-draft system a go pretty sure it will do the job

Yes you can. There a couple of things to think about. People expect it to be very fizzy, so I get it carbed and held at 300 kPa. No big deal, just uses a lot more gas than beer. But if you get it that gassed, then there is a bit of an art to pouring it without it degassing immediately. Water is fine at 300 kPa through a restrictor or long line. Water plus alcohol isnt, the gas really wants to get out, especially through a beer tap, and a pluto gun is worse. But it can certainly be done, just a matter of working out what level of gas works best on your system, without your guests complaining it is flat.

As mentioned above this is the wrong forum, try here

I dont think you are doing anyone (your self included) any favours with this type of post.

Bear in mind that as a HBS owner I have a vested interest in promoting the discussion of "Essential Oil", I still recon this isnt the right place.
