I was thinking about trying diet root beer. How much table sugar would be required to carb a 2l bottle? I was going to use splenda for the rest of the sweetener.

I'd have to guess- but it'd be the same as beer (sort of), right? I'd think 5 ounces priming sugar for 5 gallons, so 1 ounce for one gallon? That doesn't seem like much, but champagne yeast is voracious.

Thats pretty cool. Ive been tossing around the idea of making root beer at some point. Need to do some researching first.
