I have purchased myself a tap king beer dispenser. It takes 3.2litre kegs. And uses a 12g co2 cylinder to dispense the already carbonated beer. I was wanting to try and use it for dispensing my ujssm and cola.
How could I carbonate the mix? Would I use a cola post mix syrip with water and add ujssm to it and add dextrose to get some carbonation? Would that not work?
Thanks alot. Aaron

Have you seen the soda stream machines for sale might be useable.

Re: kegging whisky and cola
You will need to force carbonate it. Since it will have a alcohol content and some funky preservatives in it. Natural carbonating or carbonating from ferment won't be reliable.
If you do some searches on force carbonation. You will find a lot of info on it. Not really on this site. But mainly on beer sites.
I'm not sure if you can do force carbateing with that system you have? I use a corny keg system for it.
I haven't done a whiskey and coke. But I have done an Orange soda with alcohol added. The sugar content was so high. It was hard to carbonate.
The reason I havent tried it yet. I use to drink Jim beam and cola. And I never liked their canned version. It was never carbonated enough. And it didn't have the same flavor as a drink mixed at the time if drinking.

Re: kegging whisky and cola
Coke is already carbed, pour it in and seal it up. Keep pressure on the keg to maintain the carbonation

Make sure the cola and whisky are as cold as possible, without freezing, when placing in the keg to minimise the loss of CO2.
