So I am brand new to brewing, and I recently attempted to Brew non Alcoholic Root beer, By adding a tablespoon of rootbeer extract and two cups of sugar to a gallon of warm tap water which I then stirred until it was dissolved. After that I added a little bit (1/4 or 1/2 cup) or warm water (to the sugar, water, and extract) that had less then 1/4 teaspoon of regular bread yeast (Fleischmann's instant dry yeast) I stirred the mixture gently and then put it into two, two liter plastic bottles that had been cleaned with dish soap and hot water. I then let the bottles sit in a warm space for four days, and then in a cool dark place for a week. What did I do wrong? I opened one bottle today, and it doesn't taste bad, but it does not taste like good root beer. The other bottle is still sitting and waiting.
