Today I had my new CO2 tank filled and tried my hand at home carbonation. It took me a bit to figure out the directions that were so peppered with warnings and notes, that it was difficult to understand. As a precaution I conducted my first few tests out on the deck. First up: carbonating some cold Chablis. (while on a recent trip to Italy, we both developed a fondness for aperol spritzes, which call for a small amount of Prosecco, cheap in Italy, but not here).
Overall, I am pretty happy with this setup. I bought a few stopper top bottles and transferring to them is a snap, we'll see how well the fizz lasts in them.
I celebrated with a mortadella sandwich and a tall glass of homemade acqua frizzante!
