hi, i'm a new member and although i have been brewing many alcoholic beverages for the last three or four years, i'm new to soda.
i want to make rootbeer to bring to my family christmas this year (we celebrate on new years) because my family used to make it when i was very little.
i know people say not to use glass, but i have the exact bottles we used to use and i think it would be great fun to see the looks on my brothers & sisters faces when they see the old bottles.
my questions are thus, first of all can anyone give me advice on ways to make an explosion less likely?
second, i remember putting the full bottles in the oven when i was a kid but don't see any mention of doing that in any of the things i have read recently. any ideas why my dad did this?
thanks so much
