first turbo cider forced carbination

[Brainzzzzz]

hi every one my first batch is done straight up apple and its real good ..my question would it be possible to force carbonate the cider using a soda stream £33 from argos with enough gas for 60ltrs...sort of gas it up to drink straight away...

ISTR somebody in another thread tried it and it didn't work too well, not long ago.
Plus, in theory you only ever stick the spout of a sodastream into clean water, coz they're hard to clean

i did think that cleaning may be an issue thanks any way

I've been force carbonating this way for over a year with no issues.
Some tips:
Best to chill your brew prior to carbonating so it starts to absorb the co2
Fizz it until the release valve goes off and leave it for 10 minutes
Slowly release the excess gas from the bottle otherwise it will foam and spray everywhere
Bottle asap
Swill off the sodastream immediately to stop a build up of stickyness
