Carbonation packets, beverage carbonation systems, and methods of generating carbon dioxide gas for a beverage are disclosed. The carbonation packet comprises a packet body defining a single compartment, a granular carbonate material sealed within the single compartment, a granular acid material sealed within the single compartment, and a granular desiccant material sealed within the single compartment. The granular desiccant material prevents the granular carbonate material from reacting with the granular acid material while sealed in the single compartment. Each of the granular carbonate material, the granular acid material and the granular desiccant material are water-dissolvable.
A beverage carbonator is included. The carbonator has a carbonator outlet, a carbonator inlet, and a fluid flow path extending between the carbonator outlet and the carbonator inlet. A carbonation chamber has a carbonation chamber gas outlet fluidly coupled to the fluid flow path and a carbonation chamber fluid inlet. A liquid reservoir is positioned upstream from the carbonation chamber fluid inlet. A flow valve is movable between a reservoir-connected position and a gas-recirculation position. A pump is fluidly coupled to the fluid flow path downstream of the flow valve.
