I made one of AHS's rootbeer kits two weeks ago, and it didn't carbonate. I made it per instructions. 4 gallons water, 6 pounds sugar, and rehydrated yeast. What went wrong?
Hmmmm. I knew the directions wouldn't work out quite right.You didn't do ANYTHING wrong, just leave it, and keep an eye it, every day, once a day. A lot is going on with the yeast. It WILL carb up. My first bottle took 4 weeks to carb up, and until week 4 I swear NOTHING happened, or seemed to.
what happens if you already opened the bottle. Just made 2 two liter bottles of rainbow extract rootbeer and it barely carbonated. Can it re carbonate when resealing the bottle?
My sodas carb up in two-three days (root beer) and overnight (ginger ale).
I assume you used fresh yeast, regular sugar, and the extract?

I tried making Ginger Ale from scratch using Splenda and got no carbonation at all.
I might try Root Beer soon and carb it in a keg.
I was having trouble with it carbing up too. I switched to champagne yeast and also used EXACT measurments. Made sure my yeast was dissolved and foamy. My 2 litre bottles got solid the same day, I am kinda scared they gonna explode cause their REALLY Hard.But I see lots of settlement still yet.Anybody have a way of having no settlementor is that just natural?
