So I first tried home soda brewing and used read star multipurpose (baking) yeast for fermentation. The carbonation was done in about 2 days and sometimes as little as 36 hours. Well my loving wife baught me a home brewing kit for Christmas and I started using Red Star wine yeast that came with the kit. My first batch sat totally uncarbonated (it seemed) after 72 hours. I reset and brewed a second batch last night and 24 hours later it seems I may be on the same track as last time...
My question is do different strains ferment slower/ faster than others? If so is wine yeast just supre slow brewing? Or am I just making some avoidable noob mistake that is sabatoging my brew? Thanks in advance for any help.
