    Really? How? Keg and c02? Do you add anything, like citric acid? Im a home brewer, I’ve got a kegerator set up with 3 kegs. I want to do one with carbonated water some time

      Soda stream is just a CO2 bottle on cold water. It carbonates after an hour or so, or if you shake it.

      A better option imo is to buy a big tank of C02 and connect it to a big tank of cold water which in turn has a tap. You probably have all that!

      I personally found the taste of plain cold carbonated water… actually good on its own. Otherwise you can add flavor like a canned seltzer would have.

        It’s pretty normal. I’m american, it’s common here with a little bit of flavor, but the unflavored or very light flavored ones are my favorite. In Europe a lot of times if you ordered water at a restaurant you would have to order “still water” or you would get sparkling water.

        Edit: in the German speaking countries and countries around Germany anyway

          I am well aware that the Germans think tap water is poisonous, but that’s Germany. They aren’t quite right in the head. The best water is straight out of the tap. Although I understand that in some places it tastes like pee. But in that case why not just buy still water?
