In the USA, we have flavored carbonated drinks which we call soda pop. The carbonation process is what puts the “fizz” in soda pop. There is a lot of info about carbonation at http://tutorials.carbonatedseltzerwater.com.
It is the amount of dissolved CO2 that produces carbonic acid in drinks, influencing the quality and different tastes of various carbonated drinks, including soda pops and soft drinks.
Carbonation is the process that gives most soft drinks their distinctive taste. That fizzy taste is caused by diluted carbonic acid, not by the bubbles, as many believe.
In home-brewing of beer, over-carbonation can be dangerous; it can result in bottles gushing or even exploding.Using excessive amounts of sugar as a primer is dangerous; the same is true of using wrong types of bottles or improper capping processes. So, I would suggest, just buy your beer at the store.
Carbonated water, also known as sparkling water, is plain water into which CO2 gas has been dissolved, and is the number one ingredient of most “soft drinks” or “soda pop”.
In the past, such drinks could be produced at home by putting water in a seltzer bottle, and then adding CO2. Club soda, often identical to plain carbonated water, may sometimes contain a small amount of salt or trace minerals. Home-made soda pop might taste more salty than normal because of these ingredients. Add some drops of concentrated flavors and what do you have? Soda pop.
If it has enough minerals, the drink is classified as sparkling water. A large assortment of calorie free flavors to flavor sparkling water to great taste is sold at allfreightfree.com. Instead of drinking so much soda pop, this could be a great option for your family.
