Shopping
I’m assuming you’ll be buying products from the US, mostly from MoreBeer, but also from Amazon. You’d be welcome to buy all the components from a preferred vendor. The Soda Carbonator Lid is originally distributed at the lowest cost by KegLand in Australia, and is the only vendor-limited option.
Shopping Overview
Section titled “Shopping Overview”Table of Contents
Section titled “Table of Contents”You’ll need a refrigerator to house your carbonated water system. For more details on choosing and setting up a refrigerator, see the Refrigerator and Cooling page.
For CO₂ tanks, you have multiple options including a 5lb tank or a SodaStream tank. For additional details on CO₂ setup, see the CO₂ Setup page.
