I figured this would be fun with the kids. Picked up a rainbow rootbeer concentrate and started a 1 gallon test batch today.
Got a jug of spring water sanitized some old 2 liter bottles and a nalgene bottle spoons ect.
Mixed the sugars and the yeast in the small bottle. Added the concentrate to the water jug. Mixed it all in the jug siphoned to the bottles and capped.
They were disappointed they have to wait lol. At least they have fun squeezing the bottles to check for carbonation.
I was doubtful at first after reading about funny tastes and carb issues but hey there are allot more that work great that never post I'm sure.
Splenda for sweetening for the first batch and 5 to 6 tbs of sugar for the champagne yeast to eat. I stuck to the directions the first time.
