Sparkling water – favourite delicacy of all generations, but the modern food industry not always offers a quality product. Nevertheless, himself it isn't necessary to refuse in pleasure to drink a glass of cool sparkling water in hot summer day - this drink can be made houses.
Theoretical party of a question
Process of production of sparkling water in house conditions isn't so difficult. There are several prescription mixes, but the main for everyone is CO2 carbon dioxide which doesn't give in to burning process, has no smell and color and also it is much heavier than oxygen and at the same time is quickly dissolved in liquid, giving the last light sourness. Quite so process of production of sparkling water in automatic machines of Soviet period looked: carbon gas was supplied under pressure from a cylinder in the tank with the sweetened water and completely dissolved in liquid.
For house gassing of water it is possible to use special cylinders with carbon dioxide and the siphon allowing to supply a la carte gas in water (are on sale in household shops).
There is no opportunity to get a siphon and cylinders with gas? Nothing terrible, it is possible to produce carbon dioxide from such improvised household means as baking soda and vinegar. During mixing of two of these ingredients there is a chemical reaction which consequence is release of carbon dioxide. It is necessary to mix products in the following proportions: on liter of water take seven tablespoons of 9% of vinegar and baking soda in number of two teaspoons. Also you need the following stock: a meter polyvinyl chloride tube, two plastic bottles (choose darkened) and two covers with in advance punched openings which diameter is slightly less than diameter of a tube.
Gassing process
The first bottle needs to be filled with water, and in the second to fill soda and to pour in vinegar. It is important to remember that chemical reaction has to be delayed on time therefore previously inwrap soda in a tissue and fill in with vinegar its surface - thus, you will manage to record densely a cover to a bottle before release of carbon dioxide begins and you will be able to avoid loss of a considerable part of its volume. Don't forget to record densely a tube in cover openings by means of liquid plastic or glue to avoid gas leak. The tissue can be replaced with an envelope from food wrap or a foil. In advance make openings in its surface to facilitate process of course of chemical reaction. During process of mixing of water and carbon dioxide the container with sparkling water needs to be shaken properly within 5 minutes for the most high-quality allocation of the greatest possible volume of gas. On the termination you receive drink of weak degree of a gazirovannost which taste can be diversified by means of syrups, fruit or fruit juices.
