can this be used to force carbonate beer?

It would force carbonate a keg, but you would need to use the paintball tank option and it would probably take a couple weeks. If you used the 16 gram co2 cartridges, it would take several of them to carbonate one keg. I have always used priming sugar and let the kegs carbonate naturally and then used the party pub to dispense and maintain carbonation.

Don't know. Got this for my husband. He carbonates just enough for one sitting at a time.... we reuse a 20 fl. oz. "disposable" soda bottle. The cartridge lasts for multiple bottles over a week or two, but not sure exactly how many he's filling. I'm sure in the Fizz Gig, one CO2 cartridge would carbonate as much as one CO2 cartridge in another brand soda maker. My husband loves it. He even carbonates orange and cranberry juice. Doesn't work as well on juice with pulp. It takes a little practice to get it right, or it won't seem to add much carbonation. Recommend watching the video on the maker's site. Don't know.

I only have used it with beer Heiniken, I think can only be used with this brand, please consult the Manual beertender

I don't see why you couldn't use it for liquid but I'm sure anything carbonated will go flat

Thank you for your inquiry. You can always "double carbonate" the water to get the extra fizzy taste if you would like. Thank you mysecretpantry.com

This will work for a fridge conversion that is what I used it for. But I caution you that this is only part of what you need you will need a regulator and co2 tank I used this to add a tap to my system so that I would have two difrent kinds of beer

Some beer brewing supply houses might have an adapter to fit a standard regulator to paint ball bottle? Good luck!

i don't think so. My spouse is the beer brewer but it is a very specific recipe. The cans of malt are syrupy and i don't think you could ever measure the stuff out and get it right. Ya gotta stay with the recipe as it is or go to a brew store near you and have them make you a mix. And if you buy one of those 5 gallon fermenters, get plastic not glass. we don't usually break things but we broke that and the plastic has worked well. hope this helps.

No, it's designed to work with ball lock connections. You'd have to buy a regulator with a line and ball lock connection, and then connect the regulator to a CO2 tank. It will save a ton of money doing it this way, and one ten pound cylinder will last far longer than the tiny SodaStream tanks.

To me it sounds like there is no problem with the faucet itself, but maybe the beer is over carbonated if you force carbonated your beer or your serving pressure may be too high. I'd try turning off the co2 and purging the keg, then reset the pressure from about 5-10 psi and go from there. If the beer ends up being over carbonated, I'd purge the pressure off again and let it sit without any pressure on it for a day or two and see if it mellows out any.

Yes. You'll need to clean the CO2 connection with hot water and a washcloth afterwards. I used it to carbonate a prototype sweetened wine and it worked fine. The presence of the sugar will cause the carbonated beverage to foam like crazy once you finally remove the bottle from the pressurization rig, so perhaps put the whole rig into the refrigerator for a day before hand to minimize the eruption. Re-seal the bottle promptly with the screw-on cap they provide.

I am using it withe the edgstar, I have been having difficulties keeping my c02 working. I am not sure if it is from the Keg or my cartridge. My co2 has been leaking.

You should be able to. The key I have found when using this is to make sure the crystals are fully dissolved. With that I've never had a problem, no matter the type of brewer I was cleaning.

No Sodastream uses a proprietary threading, you would save money by not investing in the Sodastream hardware and make your own carbonation gear using off the shelf parts you can easily find on Amazon.

Yes. If you understand the mechanics of brewing beer then it is possible to use any beer ingredient kit.

I actually brew myself. If you're looking to use this to just bottle your already-carbonated beer, you'll be perfectly fine. As far as carbonating your beer via priming sugars in this growler goes, I'm not really sure. The seal seems similar to other seals I've used in the past for priming sugar carbonation so I think you'd be fine as long as you get your measurements right. I wouldn't put in too much more than about 2-3 tablespoons if you're looking to go that route.Hope that helped!
