I have been using a method where I drop dry ice into a plastic container of water that is then shut. There is a hose leading out of the container that I drop into my carboys and I let the CO2 fill the carboy up before I rack. (Same goes with bottling). However, I can only purchase dry ice in 10# increments which is quite a bit more than I need. Of course, I can't store it.
I was thinking about using a compressed CO2 canister like the ones used in paintball. How would I set it up, and how effective and costly is it?
