I keep hearing that soda is much higher carbonation than beer...if it is, I can't tell the difference when I drink either one as far as carbonation goes. And if there is such a difference like 12psi vs 30psi, why not carb the soda at 12psi...the same as beer? I like the carbonation of beer...

I am interested in this also, but I hear a small amount of alcohol from the yeast though and I have kids. I really really want to bottle into glass from a keg...what kinda keg do you have? Does your soda get its carbonation from sitting in the keg with yeast or do you put sugar in your bottles...

yeah you are correct...my fault. I read a little about carbonating by just pouring extract into seltzer water...was thinking of trying that and see how that goes.

Can I use my Mr. Beer keg to make soda instead of using the 2 liter plastic bottles?

I'm gonna experiment with different extracts. I would really like to get a mint julep soda going because I am a mint fan. Any pointers on a website to buy good quality extracts?

Hey, I am new and actually making my first batch of soda tonight of the "Old Fashioned Home Brew" Ginger Ale. It got me to thinking though...can I just get some normal plain jane extract and make soda? I mean theoretically I could get some McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract and make some 'Vanilla...
