I am going to make root beer from extract the recipe calls for yeast I am wondering if it would be a better idea to use an airlock or like they say in the recipe to just cap the bottle?
Vermicous said:You are using the yeast to carbonate the bottles. It must be capped to trap the CO2. It is very important to only let them sit out at room temp for a couple of days before refrigerating. Once refrigerated, drink them in the next couple of weeks. Even at those temps, the yeast will continue fermenting, resulting in bottle explosions if you wait too long.
