So my first batch was made. I opened a bottle only after 3 days. There are 2 that seam rather firm so I sat them in the fridge for about a day and a half. I grabbed the bottle and gave the lid a twist. The soft sound of a carbonated beverage rang out. I grinned. I pulled out my pre-chilled glass that by this time and a generous amount of frost around it. I pored the Root beer into it, it foamed up and sank back down quick enough. There were carbonation bubbles fighting there way to the top of the glass. I lifted the glass to my mouth and my nose caught a brief sniff of the Yeast aroma. I sipped the drink and it appeared to be sweet enough but wow a heavy yeast flavor more than I thought there would be. It overpowered any other flavor that was trying to sneak in. I used Red Star Yeast. Question.. is this normal? Did I do something wrong? Not let it sit in the fridge long enough? Made be switch the Yest?
