Need help with dispensing Soda from home system

[GeorgeInNePa]

I know that soda and beer will need two different CO2 pressure settings. I need to know what the recomendation is for diet pepsi, pre-mix keg.

I have a standard shank and faucet, in a fridge kept at 38-40 degrees. I run my beer at 10 to 12lbs, through 5 feet of 3/16" beer line.

What should I use for soda?

Any idea what the carbonation level is in volumes? Possibly start at 12 PSIG and experiment. Note any dispensing issues as to foam and off taste.

Are you using standard soda carbonator and soda gun set up? If so, CO2 required for carbonator is 110 psi.

[Scott Zuhse]

Are you using a pre-mix vessel from Pepsi? They should be able to tell you specifics as to pressure for dispensing pre-mix for soda through your dispensing ssytem..
