Don't forget me :D

Awesome! Thanks for the info guys :rockin:

Interesting, I guess I was just thinking straight off the bat making Gallons of the stuff and bottling it. Which has not been kind so far. Think I need to cut back and do smaller batches. What's about the shelf life of a homemade soda? Roughly

Oh? So you won't make any soda and keep it for a year or more then? I didn't realize it changed that much, so the 2 week mark that most people talk about is around the sweet spot then?

Ah ok I thought you had some secret way of adding carbonation hehehe How is the smell of the Champagne vs the basic yeast? I have champagne in my current orange soda and am excited to try it.......next week ugh. And on the extra head thing, have you used that extra foam stuff for root beers...

Stupid question, but where are you getting your carbonation from? I don't see any yeast on there. And yes I am a newbie.

Can you add spices in say a tea bag and let it soak for flavor. And then remove the bag for no floaties or deposits?

I used Flechmann or whatever baking yeast that is for my first batch. I bought some Lalvin EC-1118 today to try in the second batch. I'm thinking my problem was something with the yeast. I didn't get the temp up enough, didn't dissolve it enough something along those lines. I know it should have...

Ummm couldn't wait and opened one. Ummmmmmmm wow it's flat. I thought there would be some carb in it but nothing.

Stupid question but is this Ginger ale? You know you say Tomato I say Tomoto type thing?

Couple bottles are getting hard. Should i throw one in the fridge? And i've been reading leave it chill for a couple days?

Ok excellent Thanks for the help.

Ok question, I just went and check out my bottles for the ten millionth time today. This time I turned it over and noticed the yeast(I assume) on the bottom of the bottle. Should i be rotating these once a day?

Nice I will keep that in mind. There is nothing like pop out of a glass bottle.

That's just what I've seen alot of people post that they use for the limited aftertaste. I actually want to get into other flavors Root Beer just seemed the easiest at the moment. How is the wine aftertaste of the yeast? And being not so aggressive how long do you ferment it for then?
