I like alcohol.
The first is wine, the second is spirits, the third is whiskey, and the fourth is beer.
In the second and third cases, they may drink it by dividing it with carbonated water.
But the carbonated water I bought is still good on the 1st and 2nd days, but after the 3rd day, most of the carbonation has been lost and it has become almost water.
I don’t consume much carbonated water because I like the richness of alcohol.
So I can not always use carbonated water effectively.
Therefore, I bought a carbon dioxide gas cylinder and decided to make carbonated water at home.
If there is carbon dioxide at home, carbon dioxide can be filled with any liquid, not to mention carbonated water.
Ordinary red wine and white wine can also be sparkling.
I could even add carbon dioxide to 100% spirits and whiskey.
Not only alcohol but also tea can be filled with carbon dioxide.
I look forward to it now.
In Japan, carbon dioxide gas cylinders are abbreviated as midobons (green cylinders) because they are painted green.
I thought it was expensive but cheap.
In Japan, we can obtain carbon dioxide cylinders from a liquor store.
It pays about 2500 yen for 5 kg of carbon dioxide gas (about 500 liters with strong carbonated water) and 5000 yen for a gas cylinder guarantee. Since it is a guarantee fee, if we return a cylinder, 5000 yen will return.
In fact, one liter of carbonated water can be made for 5 yen.
Well, I think that I drink alcohol for a lifetime, so the guarantee fee of 5,000 yen is almost the initial investment.
First of all, as far as I have investigated in the last few days, I found that there are various ways to make carbonated water, so I will write it here.
Acquisition of carbon dioxide gas cylinder
Since I live in Tokyo, I learned that I can buy from kakuyasu, a liquor chain store.
It will be delivered to my house free of charge.
In addition, we can purchase carbon dioxide gas cylinders from the aquarium shop, regional gas dealers, and the Internet.
How to make carbonated water?
If you search, it will come out as many as possible, so let’s compare it here.
Look at the table below, I think it is good to choose the method that suits you.

| Recommended for such people | Someone who does not want to spend time | Someone who wants to enjoy the process of making | Someone who already has a soda stream Someone who does not want to spend time Someone who doesn’t mind even if the bomb is in the house |
Someone who already has a soda stream Someone who does not want to spend time Someone who do not want to break the nice design of the soda stream |
| Initial cost | 160$ | 80~150$ ※ Breakdown is remarks column |
50~60$ | 30~50$ |
| carbon dioxide gas | 5 kg of carbon dioxide gas: 2500 yen + cylinder guarantee fee: 5000 yen | |||
| running cost | 5 cents per liter of strong carbonated water | |||
| merit | Simple Since it is a carbonated water preparation kit, you only need to purchase carbon dioxide gas |
The process of making is fun | Easy and cheap If the cylinder is well hidden, it will be refreshing in design. Once installed, there is no need to do anything until 500 L is made |
Cheap and easy There is no need to put the cylinder in the house |
| Demerit | Slightly expensive compared to DIY | It’s bothersome to buy or assemble parts. Poor knowledge can lead to mistakes in assembly. |
A cylinder is placed near the soda stream. The design of the soda stream breaks down. |
Illegal activity in Japan |
| Remarks | Prices vary depending on the sales company. | Regulator 30 $ (imported product) to 100 $ (made in Japan) Two tubes 10 $ Different Diameter Union (Hose Diameter Conversion) 10 $ Hose connector 10 $ Coupler with check valve 10 $ Nut 4 $ |
I do not know whether it is good to do. | Please check for yourself if it is legal in your country. |
I would like to buy a soda stream and select D if possible.
C plan is also suspicious.
I do not know how far I can do it.
First of all, I selected DIY of B plan, so I will write it here again when the parts arrive.
