Hi everyone,
So yesterday I started working on my first batch of root beer from scratch. Since this was my first attempt, I made a major mistake, and I'm hoping to save the batch with your help.
I forgot that the root beer won't carbonate without yeast. I didn't buy any yeast, and I have already put my root beer into (glass) beer bottles and capped them. In order to save my root beer, I need to get yeast into those bottles. What yeast should I buy, and how much should I put into each bottle? Or should I dump out all the bottles and add yeast to it all together? There are seven 12oz. bottles in total.
My next question is after some research here, it looks like it is generally not recommended to be carbonating root beer with yeast in glass bottles. Is there any way around this? How do soda companies do it?
Thanks in advance for the help!
