#1 Let's extract CO2 from the atmosphere. That way, we'll have fizzy beer AND save the planet. It's a Win-Win!

#3 I'm not concerned, I make my own and it self-carbonates.

#4 Did that for a while. It became a race.
A bubbling 5 gallon wort, a case 'aging' and a case for drinking. Wash, rinse and repeat the 2 week cycle.

#5 Wonder how much C02 goes into all beer products versus Soda products.

Also beer creates CO2 as part of the fermentation. When I microbrewed I didn't need to add CO2. There must be a way to recapture that however they lose it in the mass produced process.

#6 So I probably won't be able to get CO2 cartridges for my air pistol either?
