How to Bottle Homemade Soda
Instructions for easy bottling of homemade soda for extra probiotics and enzymes as well as a huge boost in fizziness!
Ingredients
- 2 quarts homemade fermented beverage see list above the recipe for ideas
Equipment
- 8 12-ounce homebrew bottles
- 8 bottle caps and capper
- 8 swing top bottles with attached cap optional (if above equipment is not available)
Instructions
-
Thoroughly wash and dry homebrew bottles with warm soapy water. Do not use the dishwasher.
-
Fill each 12 ounce homebrew bottle two-thirds full (about 8 ounces). In other words, do not fill beyond the lower neck of the bottle. This leaves ample room for carbonation so the bottles don't explode and blow off the caps!
-
Attach bottle caps with capper -OR- secure caps on swing top bottles securely.
-
Leave on the kitchen counter for 2 days.
-
Refrigerate for a full day to make sure each bottle is very, very cold.
-
Open each bottle only when very cold and crack each cap slowly to gradually release the pressure from the carbonation without making a mess. I recommend opening the bottles in your kitchen sink.
