Okay, I'm using the Homemade Soda Rootbeer and Pop book (or whatever Steven Creswell's book is called). Had a question on the yeast. You are supposed to put 1/8 teaspoon of dry yeast in a 1/4 cup lukewarm water and let it sit for a few minutes.
How do you know if the yeast is good? Should it dissolve? If I want to make sure it's good - should I put a little sugar in to give the yeast something to start on? Or just take it as a matter of faith that the yeast is good?
(have rootbeer that has been working a little over three days. Just a little carbonation - not much - so want to make sure I get it right)
