Yeah, I ended up CO2 scrubbing my sulfur bomb. By the time I was done I probably used more CO2 than if I'd just force carbed it.

I've made a couple of seltzers with wine yeast, it worked well but I had to use gelatin or super kleer to get them to clear. I don't know about that much yeast, I used the 5g packets for wine yeast for a 3 gallon batch. You definitely want all that nutrient (I used energizer and fermaid O I had...

I use the Kirkland Apple Juice from Costco mostly. Sometimes I use the fancy unfiltered stuff from the grocery store. Most apple juices will work, but whatever you do, look at the label and make sure it does NOT have any sorbates.
