Using carbination drops for tonic water?
« on: January 14, 2017, 02:19:06 pm »
So I have been looking at making my own tonic water and bitter Limon drinks. I was wondering if I could use carbonation drops instead of "normal sources" ?
“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drank, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, “It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.

Carbonation drops are just sugar, so you'd need yeast as well.

Your water will taste like yeast.

If you keg, you can get a carbonation cap and carbonate whatever liquids you'd like.
