When you add dry ice to carbonate your homemade root beer, does it react with aluminum?
Answer:
Carbon Dioxide is not particularly reactive, you won't dissolve the aluminum.
dont put dry ice in anything liquid.bad bad bad.big boom
As written before dry ice in a closed system is a bad thing.
Now if you want fizz in your root beer, all you have to do is add a few grains of yeast. Although even this can cause your bottles to pop.
The trick is to seal your bottles with the bit of yeast. Allow it to ferment for a day or two, and then put the bottles into some hot water (above 60C) for a few hours. This will kill the yeast before they can get out of control and blow the cap off your bottles.
The same trick is done with home brew, only there the yeast is already present. For beer they can add a small amount of sugar and once the sugar is consumed by the yeast this carbonation step stops. But with soda pop, you’ve got tons of sugar. When you put even a small amount of yeast in it will grow and grow until the cap blows off or the bottle breaks. So you have to kill those yeast cells before they get out of control, but after they have given you the desired amount of carbonation, a tasty experiment.
And no carbonate should not react with aluminum too much
