My niece is here for the weekend. She saw all of the carboys full of fermenting wines and meads and was fascinated by the concept of yeast and how it's alive. She's 14 and loves science type things.
She was begging to make something...So, I took an empty grape juice container, added 1 cups table sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 lemons and some left over Fleischman's yeast from a batch of JAOM, and topped with water.
30 mins later, and it's fermenting like a champ.
I've fermented tons of wines, beers and meads but I've never made a soda or anything kid friendly but I know it's been done.
How long can I let this go and then get it carbed to serve as a soda and not an alcohol drink?
