If yeast is eating sugar, there are two things you can be sure of. The first is that they are farting CO2 (carbon dioxide) which is what gives the soda it's fizz. The second is that they are peeing ethanol (alcohol). That is part of the yeast's respiratory cycle. That is just how they roll. So while the amount of alcohol in the soda might be minute; it is still present none the less. As for me; I am going to try this because it looks good and I don't mind alcohol. ;-)

Definitely! But probably reduce the amount of sugar if you don't want a sweet club soda :)

[FoodEaseTV]

Brewers yeast. The amount of sugar depends on how sweet you want it to be. I'd say start with 2 tablespoon or 1/4 cup. Since you'll only use it to feed the yeast

[diannehastie]

Do you recon instead of sugar you could use agave ?

[CitiesSkyGay]

Can I use this recipe to make club soda?

[canoncutie]

Does it have to sit for three days? And do you know how long lime skin can stay good for?

[tyuqlipzzz]

i'm just afraid that the lime zest will be a little bit bitter

[FoodEaseTV]

We've never tried. But technically yes. As long as it contains sugar

[CitiesSkyGay]

How much should I reduce the sugar to, and what kind of yeast should I use?

[FoodEaseTV]

Oops... Should've mentioned it. The recipe is for 4 servings :)

[pookiroo]

Where do u get brewer's yeast from? Its not the same yeast I use for breadmaking is it?

[jamesrickel]

I usually just do lime juice, seltzer, simple syrup, and a pinch of salt.

Seemed like a lot of sugar at first but looks very good
