Regardless of what wbarwell thinks, most soda fountains use a "premix,"
which is a flavor concentrate. The "flavor" (it's a concentrate) then gets
pumped to a mixer that dumps water and CO2 into a solution with the "flavor"
to create the soda you request from your soda fountain output. A cornelius
keg set-up is very different than a soda fountain set-up, even though soda
does get distributed to the place where the fountain is in cornelius kegs.
So, unless you want to make a "beer concentrate" (which I'm fairly certain
would drive the alcohol out of the mix) you ain't gonna use a carbonation
pump like they use at a soda fountain.
