If my root beer recipe (80 cups) calls for 2 1/4 teaspoons bread yeast, what would the amount of champagne yeast be in comparison?
 
I package of wine yeast (5 grams I think) is good for 5-6 gallons of wine. I think you can get away with just one.
 
I used ec1118 champagne yeast on a soda once. It didn't stop fermenting at fridge temps when I tried to crash it out. Keep this in mind if you usually just refrigerate your soda when it's carbonated. I ended up with some awesome lemon soda fountains lol!
