Taste Notes
THE MUST STALLED AT AROUND 1.015, SODA IS NOT A GREAT ENVIRONMENT FOR THE YEAST TO BE HONEST. BUT THIS WAS A FUN EXPERIMENT. IT LEFT WITH A SLIGHTLY MUTED ROOT BEER TASTE. NEXT TIME I WANT IT TO FINISH TO 1.000 SO I CAN SWEETEN WITH HONEY AND GET SOME MORE FLAVOR IN THERE. I WILL EVENTUALLY TRY ALL THE SODAS I CAN, IT IS FUN.Notes
