Im not 100% sure. I know it is used to make invert sugar. Maybe its used in making corn syrup too?

Funny update, I wanted to add more sugar to see what would happen. So I warmed up an already brewed and cold bottle and added more sugar. Let it sit for another two days, and the bubbles came! Lol my first, decently, carbonated soda. still not commercial mind you, but ok. Taste isn't terrible...

Are there any updates to this thread? I'm having a similar problem.

Well it smelled similar to the yeast nutrient I used. (A friend next door had some, so I don't know what brand it is) Funny thing is, the plastic bottles smelled more strongly, and tasted sweeter. The glass bottles had a mild scent, but lacked the sweetness. Whats also strange is that I...

I've also read that I'm supposed to leave the soda in the fridge for a week or more to let the yeast settle down. is that true?

aruzinsky Thank you for the tips. Basically I just want a super sweet butterscotch soda. The flavor is almost there using the method Mrfood mentioned. (The candies added to water) The carbonation isn't very strong though. And it smells funny. But the taste is good lol. I was trying to go as...

Ok so before I start this, for one gallon, use 1/4 teaspoon of yeast nutrient and 1/8 teaspoon of yeast? Thanks in advance! :)

Side question, how much yeast do you use in 1 gallon of soda if I made it that way?

That sounds significantly more easy lol. Thank you so much. I'll try it and post back...soon as I can find yeast nutrient.

Ahhhh ok. Thanks I was wondering what that nutrient was. I was hoping there would be an easy recipe like melting butterscotch candies into a glass lol. No such thing I guess. The "local" brewer supply store is almost two hours away. I don't plan on making apple soda lol, but I'm very grateful...

I Have not tried that. Is yeast nutrient for flavor or instead of yeast?

I am trying to make a butterscotch soda, similar to "Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer"....well actually I'm trying to make exactly that, but without the $6 for 40oz price tag. The method I would prefer is fermentation, but so far my bottles have had a very yeasty taste. I have Red Star...
