Root Beer
How does yeast carbonate home brewed root beer, and other soft drinks without creating alcohol?

We used to make root beer at home, and the yeast got it nice and fizzy after five days without creating alcohol, so I was curious.

Yeast produces alcohol, whether in beer, root beer, or bread.

In bread the ethanol is evaporated due to heat. In root beer the alcohol stops at around a half-percent alcohol by volume, which is legally non-alcholic in most jurisdictions. It stops at that point due to the buildup of carbon dioxide (many CO2-related factors here, but simplifying for the purposes of explanation), and the relatively scarcity of nutrients in root beer compared to fermenting beer.

BTW, it is safest to bottle your root beer in plastic bottles rather than gas, since the carb levels are less controllable than with normal primed beer bottling scenarios.

$8.51


At a time when digitized beats and crudely consumerist attitudes rule the airwaves, the distinctively organic aesthetic of Kentucky-bred hip-hop sextet Nappy Roots' debut release is refreshing. Rotating MCs flip profound rhymes about growing up in the South and their struggles to be heard, giving a semiautobiographical feel to songs like "Peanuts." "Aw Naw," the first single and arguably the album...
