Alton Brown's recipe is pretty good. It comes out a bit lemony, and I like to use brown sugar with the regular sugar, I like Vernor's so the molasses flavor is nice. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/ginger-ale-recipe/index.html

Kinda missed the boat here but... Basically if you take one gram of dry ice, it expands to about .83L almost one volume of CO2. I didnt do the math, here is the website: http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/gases/faq/co2-volume-from-dry-ice.shtml

Bottle opener? Psh...Bud has a twist off! Nah I'm kidding that's gross.

I have used a piece of paper.

Thanks everyone. This is only my second brew. I never thought about experimenting....Damn, guess I have to read more about beer.:ban:

I have a two gallon primary(.....of some type....Im in an apartment it is all that fits). I also have two, one gallon glass jugs. So, If I split my beer into two secondary fermenters, would it be better to split and treat them as two separate beers or go ahead and combine the whole thing for...

I didnt add any sugar, its only the second time ive done it. Should I let it age a bit before consuming? The first one I made was with homemade apple cider and I used an entire package of yeast on one gallon. I let it sit around for 2.5 weeks and it tasted about like pure yeast.

I have a gallon of apple wine (for lack of a better term, its apple juice with champagne yeast in it). Its on its second week of life, and towards the end of the week I will be leaving my apartment for about 3 weeks and the heat will be turned way down. Will a temperature around ~50 kill off all...

Really? That's kinda surprising that soda isn't sugary enough.

I was talking of alcholic soda, but I am going to try to make some ginger beer. I have made the ginger ale that Alton Brown made on his show. With a few tweaks its pretty tasty.

I would be a little leery of the preservatives too. Ive got a one gallon jug and some unused yeast laying around, maybe Ill just toss em together and see what I get. Worst case scenario I am out $1 and some unused yeast.

Has anyone tried to ferment some soda. Bored and curious. It probably tastes like crap and makes a sticky mess....but hey that doesnt stop my gf....Anyway, I just wondered if anyone had tried so I dont have to.
