Can’t wait for the next videos on the topic!! 100% relevant to my current endeavors! So appreciate the trial and error you put into this, and for always ensuring the content you put out is accurate!
This was actually a topic I was hoping you would cover. I very much appreciate you covering this, as well as your other focuses. I am excited to attempt some of my own mixes, and see how close I can replicate the tastes of some of my preferred, but costly beverage choices for less cost. I would like to thank you for the interesting and easy access to this information on top of giving a well rounded experience on the actual elements that make a pleasant drink what it is. Keep up the amazing work!
great info, thank you so much! this is really exciting and i can't wait for the rest of the videos in this series! i'm pretty happy with my 2L bottles and carbonator cap pressurizing at 50 to 60 psi, it's great to know that a tap won't be any better before i invested in that kind of setup! also i always noticed that siphons were lackluster but didn't realize it's inherent to the design. thanks again!!
Thank you for talking about Carbonation. With the Spinzall 2.0 on order for later this year it is the perfect time to think about Carbonation devices and I am really looking forward to the series.
Keep it up. I love your TV-like intro. I started making soda. I did take the "easy" route (just to start out). I got a bunch of flavors from flavor west. I'm very happy with how it's going though. I just made a plain simple syrup and filled a glass with one shot of syrup, about a tsp of citric acid, six drops of pomegranate flavor, and 2-3 taps of acid phosphate. I mixed that vigorously, then poured my soda stream water on top. The flavors are in propylene glycol, so fully water soluble. It's pretty amazing. I did loose some carbonation on the final mix, but not bad. I find that acidity balances low carbonation. So like if you have a drink that is very acidic, it makes up for slightly lower carbonation levels. Subsequently I tried grapefruit flavor with a shot of lime juice and almost was able to recreate my favorite childhood drink Canfields 50/50.
Thanks for all of your content I just built a custom post mix system and carbonation has been the most tricky component. Any information will definitely help.
Really good video. I usually use a 500ml Coca-Cola glass bottle to mix my drinks. Use highly carbonated mountain spring water and some purified purified water. I believe diluting the spring water will dilute its sodium content and release some carbon dioxide. a suitable strength.❤❤❤🎉🎉
I'm really happy you cover this topic. It really annoys me when I do some carbonated cocktails (with water, not wine) and to get nice level of carbonation I have to dilute the cocktail with more water. Mojito is the obvious one, but there are more. Maybe the iSi could solve my problem (you've mentioned that syphons suck)? I prefer the intensive taste of the Mojito, so like 30-45 ml of water is what I usually do, but the carbonation level is really low.
Did you ever try the CO2 and N2O blend we had at Existing Conditions? Amazing bubble texture/flavor. Went flat too quickly to practically use it in service but so good.
@@IndenturedRUclipsSlave no. We were blending N2O not N2 with CO2 at different ratios at different temps until we found a texture/flavor we liked. (We had tanks of N2O for doing rapid infusions, believe me it was a huge pain in the ass convincing someone why despite not being a dentist we needed food grade N2O and we weren’t using it to get high. Even out liquid nitrogen distributor who we had a 10 year relationship with wouldn’t do it and we ended up having to use a different service. Also we didn’t have any tap beers.) The problem was that the N2O comes out of solution faster than CO2 and essentially pulls CO2 out along with it.
@@Artofdrink we wanted it to be our house soda water but it would go flat way too quickly. The N2O gave it a surprising amount of sweetness. You can mimic it using an iSi but then you can’t really control the ratio. Are you going to talk about the room temp high pressure carbonator that most people have for soda guns? We tried various experiments of chilling the water before, putting the whole thing in the walk in, etc. but the most important thing we found was purging all the air out of the chamber before starting to pressurize it then maintaining CO2 pressure so you never let air back in. The few times we would have problems with the lines or tanks we would have to repurge the whole system. We never found a practical way of getting the initial dissolved gasses out of the water first like we did when we carbonated cocktails but still that purging would make a huge difference.
I'll give it a try in my iSi just to see what it tastes like. As for removing air from water (spoiler alert) bring water to a boil, or even near the boiling point will remove 99% of the air. I'll be going through the process in one of the videos. It makes a huge difference getting all the air out, even when using something like a sodastream.
@@Artofdrink boiling works for single batches but how would you do it for an in line carbonator? That’s what we couldn’t figure out for our carbonated water system. Also for single batch (cocktails) we were using carbonator caps on plastic bottles for the cocktails so would just do a a couple pre-carbonations where we intentionally charge (always squeezing bottle to remove air in the head space) then let it bubble out immediately so the CO2 drags out any dissolved gasses. Then do a few full charges letting the bottles sit for a bit before opening to let it foam/bubble out. All it it would take 4-6 charges but then when it’s opened you don’t get any foaming. This is less of an issue for just water, the alcohol (less hydrogen bonding/surface tension) and additional nucleation sites from whatever particles we weren’t able to centrifuge out really required all these additional carbonation steps so that in service it wouldn’t foam out. At home for myself I wouldn’t bother that many charges but I would definitely still do a couple initial pre-charges to get the air out. Even with water using a soda stream you could do a couple extra charges to get the air out and not bother boiling.
While bottles are better for sure, I've read some things where they mention the appeal of that higher pressure. In some egg creme recipes I read about how it's difficult to make the drink without using the siphon's high pressure stream to swirl the syrup into the milk and how this was essential to the texture of the original egg creme.
Old soda fountain draught arms had two setting, slow pour and a high speed jet of soda that was used briefly at the beginning to mix the contents of the drink, including eggs cream and syrup.
I suspect that you'll touch on it later in the series, but I was surprised there was no mention of volumes of CO2 as a temperature independent measure of carbonation.
Where i live, i only get industrial grade (98%) and food grade (99,5%) co2. I told the supplier, i want to carbonate drinks. Because they had no tank available for the food grade stuff, they told me to just roll with the industrial grade co2, its "only" 1,5% difference. Later i found out, the recommended purity level for drinks is beverage grade co2 with 99,9%. Are there health concerns or does it have a bad taste Bad, when you have any other grade than beverage grade to carbonate Drinks.
Thanks to the introduction video. I would like to join the video to book you mentioned but can't find it. Maybe I'm not writing the author's name correctly? Help, please? By the way, nice poster from Futurama. Good choice.
You need to rest I feel you are out of breath take a seat and fizz up it’s completely ok to cut the video we only care about the value Stay well my friend
Im so excited to learn about how to create and talk about carbonation! Different carbonated products have different fizzes. Ahhh i love this channel

As video on how to get the syrup in without losing so much carbonation on soda stream would be great.
Exactly what I was looking for! Excited to learn about tank carbonation

Thanks and glad to see you are putting the info into action. And the easy route is perfectly fine, those flavours are well made.
Thanks alot.. hope to see you soon..in the new video..

Hi also I was thinking could you make a video how to make your own protein powder?
I've never worked with protein powders, but maybe down the road.

Hallo sair I am a Indian bangali boy your video is varry use full and helpful please tell me mango flavour and juice
Rootbeer! That will be great
THANKS
Thanks to the introduction video. I would like to join the video to book you mentioned but can't find it. Maybe I'm not writing the author's name correctly? Help, please?
By the way, nice poster from Futurama. Good choice.
Thanks, enjoy a Slurm. Here is a link to the book artofdr.ink/goold (Aerated Waters by Joseph Goold)
@@Artofdrink Thank you very much.
@@Artofdrink Mango Boys in Atl thank you.
I own a bar and am trying to problem solve why the carbonation is flat from my bar guns. Do you have any specific info on bar gun systems?
Sorry, I don't have a lot of info on soda gun setups.
Anti forming agent use in soda?.and this is type of glycol???
I will be talking about that, spoiler alert, a small amount of alcohol helps control foam, sometimes.
Lol I have a box that looks exactly like your bench
You need to rest I feel you are out of breath take a seat and fizz up it’s completely ok to cut the video we only care about the value
Stay well my friend
Thanks. a rest has been taken, and another batch of videos is coming. Doing science-type videos solo is hard, but I enjoy teaching.
