    homemade carb cap

    at the 17 hour mark my bottle was at 72.5 psi more than enough for me but I was not worried about it exploding.

    trying something new

    well I cracked a bottle and the carb was great not to many floaties the flavour was good but not enough ginger and to much sugar I was wondering if because I used less yeast it didn't consume as much sugar making it sweeter so I'll go back to the 1 cup

    trying something new

    the bottle is finally rock hard, in to the fridge it went I was shaking the bottle everyday, will that help anything or was I just amusing myself. I thought it may help carbonate the water as shaking water in a bottle helps oxygenate the water can anyone confirm this (or not)
