40 years ago I made Hires Rootbeer with Dad. It had a funky flavor from using Bread Yeast but overall was pretty good. It didn't seem sweet enough. Maybe not enough sugar or over fermented. He always put a couple of raisins in each bottle, I never found out why...JJ

LOL-----More than 50 years ago I helped my mother make Hires Root Beer with that little bottle in the orange box. She mixed it all in a crock, and had an old bottle capper. Then she'd set the bottles outside in the sun. She said they were supposed to stay there for 30 days. LOL---By then they were all gone. I never did find out how they tasted at the end of 30 days.

The question I had, that link, reads,

To ferment the soda in a plastic bottle? Then to transfer to the glass bottles. I dont care for plastic when it comes to drink or food. I know the plastic bottle for the fermentation is prob less prob, than having shards of glass come at ya like shrapnel?
