Avocado Soda Experiment 1 How it all worked out. Results were...... mixed. 1. For the size of the batch, way too much yeast. It tasted a bit too yeasty, and it carbed very quickly. In fact, when I went to test the pressure, the EZ Cap let loose a shower of green foam. My wife claims that I have...

I only use glass for soda. Generally it isn't a problem. Do they explode? YES. But generally it takes a few weeks to get it up to that amount of pressure. I get away with glass because I make small batches, check it often while it's carbing up and use it up within a week or so. I also have...

Avocado Soda: Remembered this old thread when I was making grape soda today, had some avocados. Thought, "Hmmmmmmmm, What could possibly go wrong?" So here goes. First Experiment. Modification of a very good recipe for an avocado shake. (Take in mind, I'm willing to sacrifice my body to...

without going to force carb options, the lowest yeast flavor you'll get is out of a champagne yeast. Also, stop it once it's carbonated by putting it in the fridge, and only make what you'll drink in the next week. The longer it sits, the more yeasty it may get. Use less yeast than the recipe...

I have no clue about the up front cost for kegging, and what equipment you have that would suffice. I've heard it's the fastest. Using yeast takes about two days beforehand, and it's best if you've done it before. But no biggie. With soda, just make sure it tastes good before you carb it, and...

I don't have a juicer. Sad. And as of last week, I have not a blender either. My wife accidentally killed it the day before I was to try out some new soda recipes. Also sad.So, I thought, what else do I have. Enter the food processor. Originally we were aiming for baby food with some canned...

Nurm, I'm sick, and was laughing so hard I almost ran out of oxygen. Thank you for sharing. Yes, root beer is sticky, and as a body wash, not exactly recommended... Having been covered in it before, I can agree.

Good point about checking plastic vs glass. And now I have to eat crow. We made some soda for somebody, and they left four bottles in the fridge for about two months. Today, about an hour ago, they came up to me and told me. So we went out on the lawn to open them up. The first three opened up...

I'm new to this forum and I'm excited about the experimentation that is going on here. (Can't wait to try avocado soda.) As I've run through many of the threads, I've found an interesting fear. A fear of glass bottles. Now I will say that this is only my opinion and personal experience. I...

I've used that recipe many times. Like the Lep says, skip the boiling. Just make sure you use warm water to start the yeast. Sweeten it to taste, you can even cut back on the water a bit if you want a stronger flavor. My theory of soda is, if it doesn't taste good before it's carbonated, it...

I lost a bottle of soda at the back of the fridge once. Found it a month and a half later. Oh man, that was tasty stuff, halfway through the bottle, I found it had a little extra kick that soda doesn't usually have. Moral of the story, I've never had a bottle go pop, but then I use glass. So if...

Congrats on your first soda! If you like it, post the recipe. I tried an orange soda a couple months back, but didn't like the recipe. I'd try again though. House favorite here is grape soda. Recommendation. Keep those yeasty beasts in the bottle, tis goood stuff.
