Can you use this with carbonated beverages?

I have not tried it on carbonated beverages, but I doubt that it would preserve since it would keep reducing the vapor pressure and you would lose the carbonation. In general, this vacuum pump is not a very good product, I guess I bought it because they reduced the price by 2/3.

You absolutely can. I sealed a bottle of Firestone Wookey Jack and it tasted great the next day.

I have used this on wine bottles. And I don't know why you couldn't use it for carbonated beverages. But I found it hard to use because you have to pump it for a long time. I have used the other wine vacuum sealers. Such as - http://www.amazon.com/Vacu-Vin-3-Piece-Saver-Stopper/dp/B00004SAF4/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1381160966&sr=8-16&keywords=wine+vacuum+sealer

I've never tried it, but it should work as long as you do not fill it all the way. It does seal well so should hold the carbonation, but if it's filled to the top and agitated at all, opening the vent to drink will probably get a geyser of soda.

I imagine you could but it is some pretty serious chemicals it cures by chemical reaction and I am not sure if you would want drink out of it.

If you view the demonstration on QVC, they tell you it is NOT for use with CARBONATED BEVERAGES OR JUICES WITH PULP. Aren't you glad you asked?

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!

You can carbonate any water. If you use your own tap/municipal water, it will make the equivalent of Talking Rain, Calistoga, Arrowhead, LaCroix, etc. However, it will not be *mineral* water, which is what Perrier is. If you have well water or access to other mineral-rich drinking water, it might be more like Perrier when carbonated.

You could, but I wouldn't recommend it. The pressure won't stay constant and over time your beer could gain or lose carbonation. I use this when I take a keg to a party with a picnic tap. Works great for that.

Yes, you can. That is exactly what I do. I find it mixes better with hot beverages rather than cold.

You can put anything you want in the sparkling water. That said, as others have mentioned, the sparkling water isn't nearly as carbonated as the sparkling water that's included in soda such as Coke, 7-Up, etc. So, this sparkling water dispenser isn't a great alternative to soda pop. Also, because the sparkling water isn't heavily carbonated, I personally don't like adding the soda mixes, because they just make the water taste like *flat* soda pop.

Sure! I'm almost positive you can mix this with anything! Orange juice would be another good one, or carbonated water for maybe a healthier choice!

Yes you could use this to refill the sodastream cylinders, you would require one additional part which can be located at CO2Doctor called the FillStationPro, http://www.co2doctor.com/fillstationproIIspec.htmThis cylinder has a siphon tube which dispenses liquid CO2. This cylinder would not be appropriate for the larger coke/pepsi machines.

These can only be used with bottles designed for swing caps. They have a set of prongs that fit into special holders in the bottle neck. Never heard of them being used for soda.

Yes, you can carbonate water with less than 1.2 liter in the bottle. I have not tried 2 cartridges. It might be dangerous pressing second cartridge into a pressurized bottle. Chilled liquid and some ice in the bottle seemed to help with more fizzle.

I use sodas stream syrups as they work the same. Or you could even use juice just requires more carbonation.

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

You probably could use it with milk instead of water, because it works nicely flavoring iced teas, etc., but you'd have to make sure it stayed refrigerated because milk could go south quickly. Remember that you are going to get a fruit essence to your liquid, not a sweet "juice" from it.

Sure, you can do that. I pour it over ice, myself. It is good for sipping straight for nausea, or mix with water for a pure (not full of chemicals) cola taste
