re: Carbonating at home

Notable failure was carbonating orange flavored (Mio) heavy whipping cream. I poured the whipping cream into a 16 oz size plastic coke bottle. I attached the CO2 hose and it sucked some of the whipping cream up the hose. It didn't reach the regulator, thankfully. I was too curious to stop, so I turned on the CO2 and carbonated the whipping cream. Once done I opened the bottle and it foamed up pretty good. I think it more than quadrupled the volume. I let it flow out into a bowl, then stuck it in the freezer to harden. I was pretty good, aside from the CO2 flavor, which is why they say to use Nitrogen gas for whipping cream I guess. It was a fun experiment, but I still need to change the hose.
