Started compiling notes about the DIY carbonation system we now have aboard our boat. The page also documents our previous system.

I plan to add more pictures, and details (+ drawings of how everything connects to each other, etc).

@rek I read this with interest. In the summer, I wonder if it’s possible to rig an evaporative cooling setup to decrease temperature in the vessel (like the principle used by a zeer pot)

@rek The marine archaeologist in 2000 years is going to think this is an Antikythera Mechanism.

@younger ppl use kegerators often for fizzy water, or alternate between that and beer :). It's versatile that way.

@poetaster not making alcohol with this. But yes, you could also make kombucha for fizz, or kefir.
