I saw there was another thread where this was mentioned, but that was it; can soda be used as one of the primary ingredients in beer? I'm sure it wouldn't taste like normal beer, but it could be interesting to make a beer out of Coke with some finishing grains to round out the taste. Does...

Too late, they're all capped. Good idea with leaving a couple unprimed, wish I would have thought of that.

I'm trying this method, wish me luck(and unexploded bottles)!

I was in a rush to get by IPA bottled and I forgot to prime it! Is this beer likely to be ok, if a little strange because of the lack of bubbles? Does the lack of CO2 mean the air in the bottles will damage the beer? So far my beer education seems to be making every mistake once. :(

Hm, I guess I'd better pick up some more yeast, then. I tried to cool it down once I realized what happened, but it may have not been fast enough if it only takes a few minutes to kill yeast above 80 degrees. Thanks!

When I was brewing last night, I forgot to check the temperature of my wort until after I added my yeast. As it turned out, the wort was between 110 and 115 degrees! I stirred the liquid german wheat beer yeast into the wort thoroughly after aerating it, if that makes a difference. This is only...
