Make soda pop at home

I know its been almost a year since I've uploaded a video. Thanks for checking this one out.

Root beer, cider and carbonated soda pop can all be made at home using your own ingredients.

You need glass bottles, wine yeast, fruit juice or rootbeer concentrate and sugar.

To make 1 gallon juice, use 2 grams wine yeast and sugar to sweeten it to your taste.

Let yeast work at room temperature for about 24 hours. Then chill in refrigerator. Drink within 10 days as fermentation continues slightly in the cooler and can build too much pressure.

There would be a small amount of alcohol in this though I'm not complaining just stating facts

u can make any kind of pop?

[goldenpizza]

@kelseysbasement dont try this with dairy. I would not recommend citrus either.

[goldenpizza]

@l0gically Yes. Some from Lakewood, Santa Cruz and Langers juices.

[l0gically]

Have you tried any other juices besides Welch's?

[goldenpizza]

@l0gically Well yeast is temperature dependent, at 77F it should be about 10-12 hours, warmer it will take less time and cooler it will take more time. The yeast will continue minimally in the refrigerator so it should be consumed within 10 days, even if chilled. Some bottles could be marked for early consumption and left to ferment longer (at room temp )while others could be chilled with only a few hours of activating the yeast.

You could also open one and recap just to test.

@goldenpizza Well I have 10 bottles of yeast-laden grape stuff sitting here, with no plastic bottle to gauge pressure. : ) Hopefully the caps pop off before anything more serious. How long do they typically sit before you need to refrigerate them?
