Soda stream is just a CO2 bottle on cold water. It carbonates after an hour or so, or if you shake it.
A better option imo is to buy a big tank of C02 and connect it to a big tank of cold water which in turn has a tap. You probably have all that!

I personally found the taste of plain cold carbonated water.. actually good on its own. Otherwise you can add flavor like a canned seltzer would have.
Yes I do have all of that, I may fill one of my 5 gallon kegs with just plain water and see how it goes. Thanks!
Well??
My kegs are full of beer! A barleywine, a oatmeal porter and a ESB. I will probably try it in the summer when they are empty and it's too hot to brew
I have a CO2 canister with a diy bottle cap. I use regular coke bottles for carbonating the water. It tastes good, but it is still destructive for your teeth.
