I recently got into naturally carbonating my own sodas, but seem to run into the same problem every time. I have very little amounts of carbonation. I believe it has something to do with my cap, but just to be sure, here's my recipe for 3 gallons:
6 Cups Sugar
3/4 Tsp of Yeast (I usually throw in a bit extra)
3 Tbsp Extract
Fill with Water to 3 Gallons
I ferment it in a plastic better bottle to avoid explosion. I have been using an orange carboy cap, but i have a feeling that its leaking. I attempted to put Saran Wrap between the carboy and a stopper to seal it tightly, and it blew off and made a mess. My current batch has an orange cap that has been zip tied on, but I'm not sure if that's tight enough. I ferment around 70 in my room under a thin blanket to block out light. I don't do anything after taking it out of the carboy, I just put it in milk jugs and drink it. Any help would be much appreciated.
