Since I go over to friends houses with kids, I wanted to try a rootbeer. However it is not carbonating and I am not sure what I am missing. I followed the recipe included exactly I thought.
1 tbl of old fashioned rootbeer flavoring
1/4 tsp red star champaign yeast
2 3/4 cup sugar, white
1 gallon water
mixed and put into 4 - 1 liter plastic sparkling water bottles.
stored in kitched - ambient temp about 72-73.
A week later and bottles are not getting hard and I can't get the lids on any tighter.
This is actually my third batch. The first one, I used Lavalin RC-212 yeast, the second was only 2 1/2 cups sugar.
Any help on what I am missing? Guessing it is probably something really obvious.
