I had a very small taste, kinda salty, why would that happen?

Just to update- I removed the big stuff and put an airlock on the jug. Smells like celery.

I do soda sweetness by taste, especially because my friends all like a different amount of sugar. I don't plan on getting into wine, so it doesn't make sense to keep track of such things. This is mostly an attempt to approximate the celery soda flavor that I love, not to make great wine. Right...

I did something like this with leftover yeast just to see what would happen. I dumped some leftovers into a bottle of gatorade. There was almost no alcohol in the gatorade when it was done (i was actually mostly just trying to make gatorade soda, so this was good) and there was a horrible salty...

I used 5 oz of celery, 6 oz tomato, 1 cup of raisins, juice from 2 lemons, 2 tsp of celery seeds, and 2 lbs of sugar. I boiled everything for a half an hour or so. The whole mess is in a 3litre bottle, I used water to make 3 l, and I used Lalvin ec-1118 yeast, added at about 70 degrees. The...

I turned out using celery, celery seed, tomato, and raisins. Things have started to bubble along, and even if the wine is horrible, I ended up making a really nice airlock that fits my jug and i will be able to use it again.

I find it funny when people assume that lighter bottles are not as strong. A few months ago, a bottle expert gave a lecture on the manufacturing process of glass bottles. He explained that the glass industry is making advances on manufacturing that allow for better bottle strength with thinner...

I am having a bit of sleeping trouble, and so I have decided to make a small batch of celery wine. I have never made wine before, and I have no interest in making anything serious, so this whole thing will sound more like a science experiment that a recipe. I can only hope that it will taste...

Although a lot of the people here will warn you about bottle bombs, they are mostly used to brewing beverages that will be around for a lot longer than soda. soda should not be kept for longer than two weeks, any longer and it starts to go bad. Only the first few hours are spent out of the...

I have been carbonating cider like soda for a few months, Before I knew that the preservatives were supposed to stop this from happening. At first, I blamed the funky smell on the preservatives, but then I got better yeast and it went away. I recently accidentally left a gallon of...

I cannot say that using fresh fruit is a bad thing, but I recently made a batch of soda using pureed fresh guavas. I tried to make sure everything was sterile, I boiled the fruit before bottling. After only a few hours the soda was fully carbonated, so I put it in the fridge. The refrigeration...
