I am natural carbing some root beer, but I am also adding some Tamarind Syrup to it. The tamarind syrup has a touch of cider vinegar in it. I am wondering if this will kill the yeast making it unable to carbonate the root beer. The only thing I can find by googling it doesn't pertain to brewing; if you wanna read about yeast infections try googling "cider vinegar and yeast".:(
 
Yeah I don't think that kind of yeast infection is the same kind of yeast infection your root beer has...

When you have, um, yeast problems in or on your body vinegar helps by reducing the pH in your digestive system and bloodstream which makes it difficult for the yeast to survive.

A small amount of vinegar will not have a negative reaction on your root beer.
